5 Places To Hide During A Florida Zombie Apocalypse
If you’ve seen The Walking Dead, you know zombies are no joke, so here are 5 places to hide during a Florida zombie apocalypse.
Living in Southwest Florida, I feel like we’re pretty safe overall. I live in Fort Myers, so I know that our amazing Lee County Sheriff and the entire department does everything it can to keep us safe. But can they keep us safe from zombies? I’ve seen the movies, the tv shows..I’ve read the books. And the last thing I want is to encounter one of those flesh eating creatures. And while it may not be realistic, I also didn’t think $5 for a loaf of bread would be either. And look where we’re at. Hey, you just never know. The good news though, is that in Florida, there are some great places to hide.
5 Places To Hide In During A Florida Zombie Apocalypse
The Washington Post reports that researchers at Cornell University looked at which states would fare the best in a zombie outbreak. Through an interactive model, New York City would be taken over in a few days, but more remote locations in the northern part of the state might never see a zombie. Florida though, could have a full zombie outbreak in less than a month. We have so many people here. So where do you hide?
Only In Your State put out a list of the top 9 places to hide during a Florida zombie apocalypse. You can check out the full list here. Below are my favorites:
- The Kennedy Bunker- the bunker is on Peanut Island and while I don’t know if zombies can swim, I feel like being out there would be safer than on the mainland.
- Costco- they’re sturdy, plus you have everything you need for survival for easy access
- The Florida Everglades- yes, you’ll have to watch out for gators and pythons, but zombies like more populated areas more
- Walt Disney World- you may be thinking of how busy the parks get, BUT they have an underground tunnel system the employees use, so it would be a great way to escape, hide and hoard supplies
- Dry Tortugas- another island off the coast of Key West outfitted with a protective fort with high walls to keep watch
Now, let’s hope this isn’t something we ever have to worry about. But I feel a lot safer knowing that right here in Florida, we have some great options for survival if we need to hide during a Florida Zombie Apocalypse.
Florida Is One Of The Worst Places To Be In A Zombie Apocalypse
Here's how all 50 states rank
Stay away from populated areas. California is last on the list. Especially around heavily populated cities like Los Angeles or San Francisco. Desperate people are just as dangerous as zombies. Keep your core group small.
How to stay alive
Are you prepared?
There’s an old adage in prepping. If you don’t have guns, you’re prepping for someone who does. Even if you survive not being turned into a zombie, you need to survive the other people, too. A lot of the people surveyed think that Florida is most likely to start the outbreak anyway, so it’s possible that none of that matters.
Could you kill a zombie?
Most think they could do it
A lot of people say they’d have no problem killing a (former) loved one if they turned. Many also believed that they’d probably be the first to die.
Which zombie movie is the most accurate?
All scary, some more so
It looks like The Walking Dead is a more likely scenario rather than the Clickers of Last of Us. Hopefully they’re slow like Dawn of The Dead and not the speedy zombies Brad Pitt fought in World War Z. Either way, surviving the zombie apocalypse is going to be rough. Physically and mentally. Just remember what Zombieland taught us.
