You know you're a true Floridian when...

Thought it would be fun to fill out my own list of how you can know if you are a true Floridian with things I have encountered living in Florida. Enjoy!

You know you're a true Floridian when....
1) You don't have snow days, you have storm days. 
2) You know how to ready a house for a hurricane and can do it quickly. 
3) You don't really worry much over tropical storms, it's only when it becomes the "h-word" that you start to worry maybe just a bit.
4) You are on a first name basis with tropical storms and hurricanes. All you have to do is say "Remember when Ivan came in 2005?" and people here know what you are talking about . 
5) The closest thing you will get to a white Christmas is strolling on the beach with white as snow sandy shores. 
6) You know what to do if you get caught in a rip current and when you are caught in one, you don't panic. Just like you are taught to do.
7) You are well versed in the ways of the ocean and know all about the different flags and precautions. 
8) You know that if it's a double red flag you best be getting out of that ocean! 
9) You shake your head at tourists who feed the seagulls, because you know to never do that.
10) You own a pair of flip flops for every occasion (even church), because hey it's Florida and you just never know when you might need a pair. 
11) You can never have too many beach towels.
12) You know not to stay out in the Florida heat too long during the summer and if you go to the beach when it's very hot, you make sure to get in the water. 
13)You think people are crazy for going to Disney World during the summer. You know that is NOT the time to go. 
14) When you see a blue tarp, it reminds you of FEMA workers and aftermath of hurricanes.
15) You are used to your school becoming a shelter after a major hurricane if needed and being out of school for a while. 
16) You know what an MRE is. 
17) You love the beach, but you don't go there as often as you'd like. 

Can anyone else relate to this?
