You might be a Floridian if….

You have more than 20 C and D cell batteries in your kitchen drawer

The freezer in your garage is full of homemade ice.

You flinch when you are introduced to a person named Charley, Frances, Ivan or Jeanne.

You find yourself dropping words like “millibar” and “convection” into everyday conversations.

Your pantry contains more than 10 cans of Spaghetti Os.

Making coffee on your propane grill does not seem like an odd thing to do.

You are thinking of repainting your house to match the plywood covering your windows.

When describing your house to a prospective buyer, you say it has three bedrooms, two baths and one safe place.

You are on a first-name basis with the cashier at Home Depot.

You are delighted to pay $2 for a gallon of unleaded.

The road leading to your house has been declared a No-Wake Zone.

You decide your patio furniture looks better on the bottom of the pool.

You have the number for FEMA on your speed dialer.

You own more than three large coolers.

Three months ago you couldn’t hang a shower curtain; today you can assemble a portable generator by candlelight.

You catch a 5 pound catfish… in your driveway.

You can recite from memory whole portions of your homeowner’s insurance policy.

At cocktail parties, women are attracted to the guy with the biggest chain saw.

You have had tuna fish for more than 5 days in a row.

There is a roll of tar paper in your garage.

You can rattle off the names of three or more meteorologist who work at the Weather Channel.
