FACTS!! I had to learn parallel parking when I moved up here by Philly. (Moved to be close to my dad and other family). I STILL suck at it and I left in '92!😂😂😂🤦♀️
Floridians can tell if the rain has lightning if the smell also has the ozone (O2) odor way before the lightning sirens go off. Yes, we have 10 mile radius lightning sirens near pools and playing fields.
You can DEFINITELY smell the rain coming in Florida. I remember from when I grew up down there. I miss it, too. Best I get now is the smell AFTER the rain. 😢😢
I can confirm. I drove in Florida a stick shift truck with no AC, no power anything, no power steering, no power brakes, no radio. I hated everyone during the summer. I drove like I wanted the truck to blow up and it finally did after 11 years.
You're right you Floridians do have super powers my cousin came to see us in VA and he said he smelled rain and then it poured down raining it was like a magic trick
Ain't from Florida, but you right. People up here always look at me sideways when I tell em I can smell the rain coming. My wife's learned to accept it.
I know EXACTLY when it will rain: AccuWeather tells me there won't be any rain and I therefore go out on my 13 mile bike ride in New Tampa... (one time had to shelter underneath the Publix overhang during an "unscheduled" downpour!) 🤣
Omgitswicks when I first got to Florida, it was an especially wet time. Rain all day every day. I saw people on lawn mowers mowing in full rain. When I asked a local why not wait til it's dry, they laughed at me. Then I saw a jacked up 4x4 literally pulling a skier in the water filled ditch on the highway. Florida don't give a f**k! Stay strong.
Recently and I'm not sure how recently but this year it became legal to drive on the highway with posted speeds over 55MPH with your flashers on in the heavy rain, fog, or smoke. Per Marion County Sheriff on a local talk radio station over a debate on Friday.
The law changed in the summer of 2021. Listen up this is Florida we don't give a crap about the law while driving through roads infested with Northener's.. Flasher's make it worse get off the road. Only Floridiots and Tourons do it.
Petrichor. Just sayin' 😂😁 Also, what real Floridian gets into a car without holding in that scream from sitting on the seat that has been in the direct sun in a moisture oven for hours? 😂😂🤔😧😱
Had to retake the test a few years ago for medoical reasons ..I skipped the parallel parking check by bringing up how I hadn't seen one of those since I was visiting family up north ->"but how would you do it then?"- >"it was boston, I walked right past those folks & hailed a cab... Guess if I had a rental I could hit the parallel park button"- >"ok next thing, I want you to..."
@last-chance_ Well, my datsun needs a new compressor (can't buy one anymore), and my truck just needs to be charged, I think, I've just been to cheap to do it since it makes people not want to ride with me anyways but my fiance was asking me when I was going to fix it the other day so I ordered the tools to do it
True true...no AC will make you crazy. That Ohio plate with a perpetual blinker going 5 under the speed limit but staying in the crime lane is just too much for a girl with no air. Just saying.
In Arizona you can smell the rain. It sucks when it rains & it evaporates before it gets to the ground.. So you smell rain, then nothing. Just hot & muggy.😂
@@ratsumatra3003 Yes. Yes, it is.

i got ac butttt i dont use cause i like the heat-wind and sweat keep me cool-sides after awhile when i go to get me a super 44 at the jif everybody keeps their distance-hey hey you you get offa my cloud
If you turn on your windshield wipers, turn on your lights, Florida Law.
Putting on flashers during bad rain is deff not ok in Florida!
Smell the rain, the muffled sound before it snows.
Parallel parking? In Florida? Pfft. The gators do that for you. Just toss them the keys.

I'm originally from Virginia and I've always been able to smell the rain.
Fun fact: The "smell of rain" is called petrichor. It is actually the smell of ozone, geosmin, and plant oils.🤓
crimson, eleven, delight, petrichor
Some of the rest of us can smell rain, too! Must be a cool person super power!
@@kimarnold1669 yall just want to be like Florida lol
Florida rain smells different. It smells--- _rainier._

@@badkitty4922 that's pretty darn good, tbh....
@MelissaThompson432 yes. Especially if you live somewhere near trees and grass, and other plants. 😉👍
Smelling the rain applies to ALL of the South!
Born and raised here in Central Florida and I use 2/55 AC. 2 windows down at 55 mph. Guess I'm one of the most dangerous people in Florida 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣
I can confirm. I drove in Florida a stick shift truck with no AC, no power anything, no power steering, no power brakes, no radio. I hated everyone during the summer. I drove like I wanted the truck to blow up and it finally did after 11 years.

Parallel parking😂😂😂😂
Always look up 😮

We can all smell rain😊
@@MDY-hjy845 I’m sure 😂😂😂
We can definitely smell rain in CA as we don't get that mutch of it. It has that kind of burnt oil fragrance 😅
@@HugsXOThat’s from the car crashes…😂😂😂
@@DPETE611 After the car chases.🤣
It’s so true, you can smell the rain.😂
I'm from Mich. People say I'm weird because I can smell rain coming as well. Some people have that special sense.
Yes, we can smell the rain...even if we just moved here.
Ain't from Florida, but you right. People up here always look at me sideways when I tell em I can smell the rain coming. My wife's learned to accept it.

@last-chance_ It's like money in the bank, and you know how safe the banks are... 😂
Rain coming, always smelt like wet dirt and steam. Coming from a florida lifer. 🍻
Agreed n Same🍻
The smell of rain is what I wanted while I delivered both my boys. The earthy ozone, water is the best smell until the lightning hits….😊😂
Lol I just put my hazard lights on tonight while it was raining driving on the Sunpass❤😂🎉
Don't tell us, you were also in the left lane.

I live in Illinois, and the flasher while driving instead of just getting off the road is growing.
Hey man, airflow is important in an a/c-less car; just having the windows down only does so much 😆
The last part is true you have to experience to understand lol
Yep on all 3, parallel parking is when you park next to entry of Publix, leave the car running, and run in to get the Lotto tickets
Petrichor.
Just sayin'
😂😁
Also, what real Floridian gets into a car without holding in that scream from sitting on the seat that has been in the direct sun in a moisture oven for hours?
😂😂🤔😧😱
Shit, I had to move to Chicago for like a year to understand this "parallel parking" thing. Apparently it's required in other states!

Say it like it is 😊
I thought everyone could smell rain. And I'm in Kentuckiana
had a car insurance commercial before the video
I felt singled out here... i haven't had a/c in my vehicles in 6 years granted i have the parts to fix the one now....
@last-chance_ Well, my datsun needs a new compressor (can't buy one anymore), and my truck just needs to be charged, I think, I've just been to cheap to do it since it makes people not want to ride with me anyways but my fiance was asking me when I was going to fix it the other day so I ordered the tools to do it
Ive seen here when it rains everyone speeds through the rain anyway
My 99 ford f-150 has windows that roll down. It hasn't had working AC for years
Alaskans can too!!
High from Alaska 😘
Smelling the rain isnt a superpower. Anyone who goes outside should be able to smell rain, except PNW, there it always smells like rain.
And this is a major reason why we are heading to Florida.
True true...no AC will make you crazy. That Ohio plate with a perpetual blinker going 5 under the speed limit but staying in the crime lane is just too much for a girl with no air. Just saying.

I didn't realize that being able to "smell rain" coming was a weird thing until I said it in front of my northern cousins. They thought I was nuts.
Oh sweetie, is that the only reason. 😂

Don’t turn your f#cking hazard’s on while driving in storms.
Bahahahaha..parallel parking
Parallel parking in Florida? Like that wasn’t even part of my driving test.
Fact i can’t parallel park I also never had to parallel park either.
Play wicks can you tell super humidity… to please leave New Jersey
i got ac butttt i dont use cause i like the heat-wind and sweat keep me cool-sides after awhile when i go to get me a super 44 at the jif everybody keeps their distance-hey hey you you get offa my cloud
No AC in Florida. Lol
Yankees and their F'n hazards in the rain. 😠😠😠
