To know us is to love us. We may do some weird things in Florida, but what state's residents don't? I mean can we talk about all of the people moving here, the insane traffic, the astronomical prices of homes. We must be doing something right down here.
Our state may be a little wacky in the headlines, but Floridians (and transplants) are big on personality. The crew over at Only In Your State put together a list of 12 Weird Things Floridians Do.
1. We coexist with gators, bugs, snakes, and sharks like it's no big deal

They're hard to avoid when they're everywhere. Golf Courses. Neighborhoods. Pools.
2. We'll walk casually through rain without an umbrella

It's just a little bit of water.

Nobody has time for socks.

We're not getting worried until we hear Cat 5 or see Jim Cantore in town
