When Winter Hits Florida, Iguanas Fall From Trees — And Maybe Onto The Grill
"Verified the iguana warning," the National Weather Service office in Miami says. There are also reports that, much like in 2018, some people see the cold-stunned lizards as free meat.
Forecasters in southern Florida had warned a sharp cold snap could bring a high chance of falling iguanas – and that's just what happened: The National Weather Service's office in Miami says immobilized iguanas began falling from the trees after temperatures plunged into the 30s and 40s early Wednesday.
"Verified the iguana warning and the wind chill advisory! Definitely not your average day in South Florida this morning,", after meteorologist Eric Blake posted an image of an iguana splayed on the ground.
