As a south Florida guy I completely agree with all this! And NOPE gets worse as you get older. It’s exactly the same thing as 10 degrees and freezing rain. So stay away Yankee trash! Plus the alligators love liberal Yankees. Plus we’re all crazy meth addicted racist who love Trump, and hate anything north of Atlanta, exclusive of Atlanta proper, which we also hate. Plus mosquitos will suck your blood down to levels of you passing out. Plus, as you Yankees love to tell us, there’s no fall and the leaves don’t change colors. Well we can tell fall cause all the license plates change colors and we can’t get into any of our favorite restaurants and it takes us twice as long to get to work.
Our mosquitos are the size of small puppies and if you put them on leashes, they carry you off like Billy’s Balloon and drop you into the gator infested swamp. Unless you’re sane. And then they don’t. But they can totally tell. So stay away….
And those puppy size mosquitos are most likely genetically modified by Mad Scientist Extraordinaire, Beelzebub 👿Billy Gates. Who cares that Bozo Billy is a known eugenicist, who just happens to want half the global population gone. 😠
I agree, I'm up here in the Northeast part of Florida in between St. Augustine and Daytona and I feel that the Yankees need to stay in the Northeast, Florida is not what all the hype says that it is!
Our neighbors moved here from California 3 years ago. They are Vietnamese. 3 generations of family and their business came with them. They are the best neighbors.
Well at least you got the decent ones but California crowded with educated idiots I saw there curriculum in high school lucky my history teacher was a conservative he taught us the real history the good the bad an ugly but he gave it to us straight but he did tell us there trying to rewrite it this was in 05
Let’s not forget the the Burmese pythons that can swallow an adult deer whole , the Cane toad that will kill your pets, the lionfish and the bullseye snakehead!!! … yes please google them!!!!
… the Moskito’s make a nice snack.. after arrival of course!! … especially dipped in chocolate!!
While we’re talking about places you absolutely don’t want to move, Tennessee is absolutely awful. Especially East Tennessee. By the time you hear banjos it’s too late. 🪕 💀
🤣 I'm in Texas. A while back one of our policy committee members sent me a letter lamenting that we get bad press on the MSM and I replied back to him, "let them lie and bash us all they want! Who wants more people moving here with their grotesque ideas anyway?" He agreed. "Hadn't thought about it like that," he said. Our South Texas weather is similar. I live in way North Texas and it gets quite cold here, and our summers are mild. But they are trying to burn us out, so not advisable to visit.
Just the same thing in Florida. Awful!We are being over run with gators. Going to the beach? Man eating sharks. Iguanas hanging from every tree. Massive pythons are now slithering north of the Everglades. Rattle snakes, water moccasins, coral snakes, you name the pit viper, it’s here. Panthers and huge bobcats. Don’t forget the Florida black bears roaming through the suburbs. Giant birds called Sandhills cranes that have beaks that can rip you open like a sack of potato chips. Rainstorms with the force of a hurricane, with intense lightning bolts raining down. who needs a DEW when you have lightning like that? Summers especially July and August fires of hell hot and extremely humid. Summer doesn’t end until November 30th by the way. The end of hurricane season. Florida = Danger!
Haha! We are leaving the toxic state of our first president (who would be appalled at the state if his name) for the sovereign state of Come Take It in less than two months. It is beautiful here - mountains, ocean, rivers, forests - and we will be trading that for flat prairie where the wind blows pretty much all the time. But we won’t have our gun rights being abrogated every legislative session, or maskidiots giving up the Karen Eye in the grocery store, or watching children being exposed to pornography in elementary school in the guise of tolerant sex education. Or the masses of homelessness, theft, burglaries, police neutered into lap dogs- the list goes on. We are nervous but it is a grand adventure. We will be refugees. We will help keep Texas RED.
Don't worry. I moved to Ohio because I LIKE the climate here. I like four seasons. I like it freezing hard at least once a year so the natives don't even know what a fire ant or a palmetto bug or a scorpion is.
I grew up in South Texas, lived through two hurricanes and one typhoon, and am now a hurricanophobe. I've also been to Florida in August. No thanks.
Don't feel bad. I lived in Southern California for several years and became and earthquakephobe, too.
Yep!! I've lived there and it's exactly like that! Now in the valley of Arizona and it's pretty much the same (without the humidity, thank GOD!!) so don't come here either! 😅
Florida native, born & raised in South Florida. To be fair I was gone for a while. I was stationed in Charleston SC, San Antonio TX, Biloxi Ms , Howard AFB Panama, Rhein Main AFB. We are now back home in West Central Florida to stay.
It’s been beautiful this Fall/Winter/Spring. Yesterday high 84, today 72. Low 40-50 the next few nights.
- When it gets into the 40’s it’s cold enough for an iguana drop. So be careful when you walk under trees during a cold snap.
- If you want some real fun skip the beach & go to the Everglades with hunters on swamp buggies & air boats looking for pythons. It’s pretty much open season for them. The state pays for every Python you kill. You need to take a class and get a permit. Python skins make beautiful wallets, boots and purses.
Great Florida souvenir. For a price.
- When it warms up and the gators come up to sun on the banks of the gazillion lakes, ponds and rivers. But still great for paddle boarding, canoeing or Kayaking. Just don’t fall in. Yesterday I passed a pond a near my house and there was a massive gator laying there, the pond was so shallow that it wasn’t able to submerge. Like knee deep at the most. It had to be at least 10ft long. They can also climb fences & trees with out any trouble. They can hit speeds of 35-40 mph when they run. Now it’s mating season for these puddle puppies & they are on the move. Don’t feed them!!
- If you go to Ocala to Silver springs and go canoeing watch out for the monkeys. They bite. So do those adorable little otters.
- aside from theme parks we also have the Florida Man Games, Gator Nationals, Daytona 500, Bike week, Strawberry & other Festivals, and packed beaches from March - May. And over on the east coast this is the time of year is when the jellies return to our shores. Portuguese Man -O-War with long stinging tentacles laying all over the shore & in the water. Ouch! It’s like a fire you can’t put out.
- Don’t forget to do the sting ray shuffle when wading on the beaches. Bad news if you get zapped with barbs on their tails. Look out for sharks if you go surfing.
- Almost forget the Villages, the Sr citizen 15 minute cities with the highest STD rates in the country. All you need to get from point A to point B is a golf cart.
- If you visit our state, don’t drive in the left lane going slower than the flow of traffic which is typically 80- 90 mph. You can be ticketed for going too slow.
- Just a little friendly info for our spring breakers from the north pouring into our state. Don’t forget the sunscreen. It’s not too hot and you don’t feel like you are getting sunburned. It will sneak up on you.
This is a wonderful description of my favorite part of FL. Central FL is IMO the best of the state, roughly from Ocala to Lake City. So different than the coasts and metros. I’ve spent time there since the 1970’s (alternating with my home in the mountains, which I won’t name because it is such a horrible place to live!). 😉 I avoid the lower east coast like the plague. But I have an addiction to gulf sunsets. Cedar Key, the “drinking town with a fishing problem”, is a jewel.
Thanks for bringing fond memories to mind. I promise not to give anyone directions!
Don't come to Florida, it has warm beer and cold food. Florida in the summer is a hell hole. If the heat doesn't kill you the bugs will. Q: What is Florida's State Bird? A: The mosquito. So big you can put a saddle on them and ride them. Florida also has these huge flying cockroaches with a cute name called "Palmettos". They fly in when you open the door and spray this nasty smell all over the place. But people don't notice them so much because they are not called cockroaches.
The Dragonflies here in FL are massive, I think they may be Dinosaurs. Insects freak me out and I think they know it and pump themselves up when they see me, little bastards.
Yet the squirrels are tiny! No harsh winters I suppose. I never see them squirreling nuts away, the 2 I see just chase each other in the trees all the time. No inventory concerns, it's very careless of them ;)
Yeesh, and people wonder why I don't want to ever move there, no offence but I love the cold, am built for Arctic weathers, which is why I like the idea of working and teaching in Hokkaido. Florida has always seemed oppressively hot, didn't know about the rain thanks for letting us all know Demi.

I once had a pair of mosquitos carry me from Palm Beach to Miami for a Cuban sandwich and a cafe con leche.
Ah! The Mosquito Cortadito! I know it well!
I was typing Cortadito but didn’t think anyone would know what that is. You must be near Miami or Tampa to know that one!
I'm nearer to you, neighbor!
😉
Una taxa de café con leche por favor

Hope and pray the fires are contained soon.
almost there. Over 90% contained now...Thank you!
Thank God!
Remember to use your car’s wipers during lovebug season.

🤣 a few heated comments to pair with the Florida heat I see.
Born and raised in Florida!
I love our weather although I enjoy seeing snow and fall leaves in other northern states.
If you can't take the heat.. it's best to stay out of the kitchen! 😜

Falling frozen iguanas. I forgot about that. 🤣🤣🤣
Not Iguanas...that's called Tree Chicken.
🤣🤣🤣
They make great mantle decorations until they thaw and eat your dog.
Heading to the Villages the summer. We're refugees from woke crap. One vet and his wife.

Oh and anaconda snakes and meat eating lizards! Don’t believe me???
