As of 4pm no. A lady from animal control was going around Van Vorst park warning everyone.

Can't say for sure, but a rabid raccoon is usually dead within 1-3 days of becoming infectious. If people started seeing this thing last night, it's probably pretty close to being dead, if not already

I know absolutely nothing about rabid raccoons, but I sure as hell hope that you are correct. I don’t even live in the Paulus Hook neighborhood but this post just unlocked a new fear.
