Watch out! Florida is a dangerous place to live
Florida has a reputation for being one of the craziest states in the country and it's not without good reason. We're hit by hurricanes and tornadoes almost every summer, we have the title of being the lightning strike capital of the country and we've got a handful of crazy Florida men and women who've made major headlines. Even a relaxing day at the beach can turn wild if you're invaded by a brain-eating amoeba or impaled by a needlefish. Whether you're on land or in the sea, there's most likely something nearby that you should be wary of.
