The current Mrs. Buffnut (and likely only ever Mrs. Buffnut) has cause to visit Fort Walton Beach with some frequency on business. During one of her first trips, she referred to FWB as being in Florida. A female colleague who worked there corrected her with a suitable southern drawl, "Honey, this ain't Florida. We're in Lower Alabama." I about lost it when I heard that...but it's stuck with me ever since.

being from Pensacola (barely in Florida) this is true. Florida is the only state where the the further south you go the more North you get, except all the way south, that's Cuba (and OK). The further north you get the more South you get. There was a time when West Florida wanted to merge with Alabama. Theory being that Northwest Florida is always ignored by the rest because, while the white beaches are beautiful, Florida has tons of beaches but Alabama only has a few and really develops those (red neck Riviera). Proud to be from West Florida.

North-West Florida is the only Florida that can stay in the Union. Only because I like Pensacola.

It must be something in the name. The "X" perhaps?

Although I can't comprehend why anyone would want to live somewhere that cold.

NO no no no no.

Texas has the biggest of everything so they must have the biggest low temperatures.

As the technology matures, these problems will be ironed out, so should not become common.

In saying that, you still see videos of fires at petrol stations....

And how often does occur. Decades of use in Europe and its not an everyday occurrence.
