I love Florida, and obviously, I hope none of this ever happens. Also, most of it is just plain silly, so please don’t take it too seriously. Here are the top 10 most likely ways Florida could be wiped off the map:
- People will suddenly realize they only need one kind of orange juice.

- A giant sinkhole will swallow the whole thing.

- One of two things will happen: A) People will suddenly decide theme parks are lame, and our economy will crumble.

- Or B) Disney will buy the whole state and turn it into one giant theme park.

- People will suddenly decide they don’t like going to the beach.
Flickr/enigmabadger Our tourism industry will take a huge hit.
- Zombie apocalypse, of course.

- It will meet the fate of our oldest tree, The Senator, and a meth-head will accidentally burn it down.
Flickr/Kyle May RIP, The Senator, 1488 BC - 2012 AD. (Yes, this really happened, and it was 3,500 years old.)
- Sea levels will rise until we’re all underwater.

- Our Reptilian Overlords will finally reveal themselves and take over the planet.

- Hurricanes
