Falling Iguanas… Again? What’s Next, Florida?



Ah, Florida, the land of sunshine, Disney, and… falling iguanas. Yes, folks, it’s that time of year again when temperatures drop just enough to send these scaly little creatures plummeting from the trees. I remember the first time I heard about it, back in early 2020, right before the world decided to give us a taste of the apocalypse with COVID. I remember thinking, If iguanas are falling from the sky, what’s next? Well, we all know how that turned out.

But here we are, in 2025, and Florida’s on its iguana drop routine again. So naturally, my brain’s kicked into overdrive, wondering what bizarre twist is headed our way this time. Because let’s be real—when cold-blooded reptiles start falling like scaly snowflakes, it’s hard not to feel like it’s a cosmic warning sign. Falling iguanas? Clearly, we’re living in a real-life game of Jumanji.

First off, what do you even do when you hear a meteorologist say, “Watch out for falling iguanas”? I mean, what are the protocols for that? Should Floridians be walking around with helmets? Do you carry a net, or do you just start living indoors like you’re under house arrest? I can’t help but wonder if the insurance companies in Florida have an official “falling iguana” clause tucked into their policies. Act of God? Nah, just act of iguana.

And what are the iguanas thinking? One minute, they’re chilling on a tree branch, and the next, they’re frozen solid, taking an unexpected swan dive to the ground. Imagine explaining that to your fellow iguanas. “Bro, I was just basking in the sun, and BAM—next thing I know, I’m on some dude’s windshield!”

But here’s where my brain really starts buzzing: What’s next? Last time, falling iguanas preceded a full-blown global pandemic. So, should we be bracing ourselves for another round of chaos? Are we on the cusp of a new, bizarre chapter in the human experience, heralded by these falling reptiles? It feels like nature’s way of saying, “You thought that was weird? Just wait.”

Maybe the falling iguanas are trying to tell us something—like, “Wake up, humans! Pay attention!” Or maybe, it’s just Florida being Florida, the state that always manages to keep things… interesting.

In any case, I’m keeping my eyes to the skies. Because if it’s not iguanas this time, who knows what might come next. Falling frogs? Flying pigs? At this point, nothing would surprise me.

So, buckle up, folks, and get ready for whatever 2025 has in store. If iguanas are our early warning system, we’d better brace ourselves—something sticky (or scaly) could be coming next.
