I love the flying cockroaches (palmetto bugs). Termites, too!

And let’s not forget.....the state of Florida is the lightning strike capital of the US.

There is literally a Gator in even the smallest of ponds in Florida. You heard that New Yorkers and Californians? As Joetato says, that’s no joke pal! Let’s do some pushups!

I moved down here in 2021. Not planning to leave. Not bringing my old state with me. However, I still prefer to warn liberals of what awaits if they move down here.

FTA: It is illegal to feed alligators because feeding them teaches them to associate food with humans and thus causes them to lose their fear of people.

That guy will be charged with the crime of feeding alligators....

If we can just teach the gators to go after illegal immigrants, invasive pythons, Yankees, and Democrats while they leave the rest of us alone, we can make Florida great again.

Let this be a lesson to those of you thinking about moving to Florida.
Gators right outside the door......hurricanes, tropical depressions, sinkholes, water moccasins, shark infested waters.....you name it florida’s got it.
Very dangerous.......don’t say you weren’t warned.

Don't forget about the brain-eating amoeba lurking in the tap water. It's the small invisible critters that are the deadliest.

There are 3 ponds in my sub-division in Florida. Each pond has gators and water snakes. The biggest pond has walking trail around it. The gators come out of water and soak up the sun on banks of pond. Usually they run away into the water when a human approaches.

A few things I'll add: Rattle snakes in the palmettos, palmetto bugs - like big cockroaches except they can fly and prefer the indoors, Florida wood spiders - very big - like the size of your hand and very fast, you can hear them run across your wall and then they flatten out at the ceiling/wall juncture so you have to flip them out of the crack to get'm running so you can whop them with an industrial strength fly swatter.

Oh and if she's got an egg sack you don't want to stop until you get her.

I recommend the "Super Swat" - no connection with the company but we've got them around the house. Not an ad, just a recommendation.

Spring is fun too because that's when the gator males will go ANYWHERE looking for a mate. Often found underneath the car in your driveway so step lively.

Other than that, aside from the waves of northerners moving south, every year we get "snowbirds" coming down to their 2nd home to avoid northern winters.

Traffic doubles with people on the roads with drivers who don't know where they're going and that you can turn right on a red light (in most cases).

Also its hot and humid 8 months of the year and some businesses still want you in a coat and tie.

Still we've got a good governor, no income taxes and big chunk of state/county/city budget income is from tourist taxes.

Most cities have ~ 7% sales taxes except 8%+ in the blue districts.

Still its close to a 50/50 R/D voters so conservatives are welcome especially down in South Florida, Palm Beach Miami, etc. Conservatives are starting to win down there.

At the beach, at least on the Gulf Coast, you'll want to master the stingray shuffle. You just don't pick your feet up and then down like normal walking so as you slide your feet forward right on the sand the sting rays will get out of your way.

If you do get stung? No problem. You just want to have someone pee on your wound. Heh.

Come on down. ;-)

Saw a Mexican guy get stung at the beach one time.

Screaming in horrible pain. He was stung on the ankle and his friends had to tote him to their vehicle. I assume they took him to the ER...............
