[@brandonmckittrick2822]

I was born and raised in Winter Haven, Florida and currently living in Lakeland. Yes definitely learned a lot from this video.

[@mop_man]

6:11 - 6:25 everything was correct except for the “oldest still inhabited city in the US” part. That title actually goes to a small town in Alabama called Childersburg. It has been inhabited since 1540, 25 years before the founding of St. Augustine, but because Childersburg is so small and because it is in Alabama, St. Augustine gets the credit because it is in Florida meaning it is far more advertised for tourism.

[@sergestorms3687]

If you want to know more and everything about Florida, read Tim Dorsey's books. Tim used to write for the Tampa tribune and became a private author in 1999. He has been inside the Florida archives and knows everything about Florida even the stuff that is being covered up. His books are very good reads too, since 1999 to present day he has published a new book annually and still does to this day, Serge A. Storms is florida man. Ive been waiting for years to see Tim turn theses books into a solid movie or movie series.

[@killdaire7589]

Florida, the second most American state beside Texas, hell it even looks like a gun

I like how at the @7:30 mark when talking about Miami the footage is showing Bayshore Boulevard and the Tampa skyline lol.

[@sergestorms3687]

The original space station was built over top of an ancient nativive burial grounds and it was contraversial, they even abandoned the old station and built the kennedy space center. Disney land was built on a massive orange grove with a citrus tower look out, the tower is where the castle is in the park. The orange groves were so large tourist would go visit and get lost for days and survive from eating oranges, the citrus tower was used to observe and locate lost tourist and help them out.

[@riper911]

I feel like this state need a part two. There’s a lot more facts about Florida.

[@jaredbrooks5781]

I definitely have to agree with you on that

Florida has an Orange county...? Orlando, Disney, and Universal are all in Orange county

[@treym1966]

I literally grew up in Orange County.. LOL. And the commenter below, Universal and Disney are not next to each other

[@treym1966]

@Pull UP! it's about 9 miles. Disney was my first job, I literally lived BEHIND the Magic Kingdom. And then worked at Universal from 2003-2005, while still living near Disney... they are not 3 miles apart. :) not sure where you live but thats a good 25 minute drive! Be well

As a natural floridian, so many things were pronounced wrong, and I can confirm all of the weird stuff that goes on here.

[@ChimRichells]

I was thinking that too but if we went to Britain and tried to say some of the words that they have we would probably F-it up completely

[@FailSafe161]

As a lifelong Tampa Bay Area resident, this was a fun watch. :-) There’s a lot I still didn’t even know about my home state!

[@Mr.Plant_man]

Floridian here, can answer all questions, truthfully. 😁

[@sergestorms3687]

The water table is very high too, thats why so many sink holes, the water displaces the earth you stand on. In cities you are living on a massive slab but if you dig in certain spots or leave city and dig one scoop the hole will instantly fill up with water. Thats why most florida towns wont grow any larger because they cant use stilts or build on the land safely.

[@sergestorms3687]

Nobody knows exactly where Ponce de Leon first landed at in florida, but Ponce wasnt aware of how large the continent was and named the new land La Florida, Coral Castle Ed built this giant rock castle in the 1920s with tuberculosis, nobody knows how he built it alone and he died with the secret, Ed even got bullied by the locals in Florida city where he first built the castle and he actually hired a truck and secretly loaded the entire structure onto the trailer without being seen and was able to rebuild it where it is located today north of miami in dade county. The front gate is a 9 short tons 8 foot tall massive rock with a pole in the center, it is so heavy but easy to spin a child can move it. The gate broke in 1986 and it took 3 men and a crane to dissemble and replace the rock gate, The gate was so heavy the crane struggled to functioned, keep in mind this was all created and built by one man who worked in secret, this is a true story too. NOBODY KNOWS how he did this, so many stories and attempts to give answers but Ed is the only man who knew what he was doing and he died never sharing that secret.

[@steelhornet95]

[@tvold9204]

Number 27 is kinda misleading, Florida doesn't have it's own hurricane season, that's just THE hurricane season. Also, Hurricane Katrina did hit florida, but only caused about 780 Million in damages as most of the damage was in Louisiana/Mississipi. Also total damages were 125 Billion, not 160.

The answer for why LA has the Lakers is because the Lakers were originally from Minnesota, which has 10,000 lakes, but because of trading in the NBA they ended up in Los Angeles. Watch the movie baseketball and you can learn all about it

I like the Lakers so happy they won the NBA championship this year.

I lived in a mostly tourist area so it was a seasonal type of area of florida. But I must say it was a fun growing up place, bike week, spring break, Daytona beach has the world's most famous beach I went to a lot, springs where you can swim with otters and alligators to name a few over a giant 100 foot deep natural spring, got drunk and partied on the beach quite often, and it was a great place growing up. Now I dont like going there lol I live in colorado now it's so humid and hot there... plus the spiders, snakes, mosquitoes etc I had enough of cause they are everywhere.. I mean every where lol

I'm from Florida! I watch your videos all the time and it was fun to see you do one on my state. It was funny to hear you pronounce "Kissimmee", "ybor", and "Gasparilla". Also there is an orange county Florida. It's the Orlando area. Walt tore down a bunch of orange groves to make Walt Disney World. Both Disney World and Disneyland reside in Orange county! I really want to check out the stargazing in Kissimmee now. Thanks for that tip! Last thing, I've been to Venice Beach (shark tooth beach) plenty of times, but never knew the teeth are from ancient sharks. I assumed it's from sharks in the area. Cool fact!
