National Weather Service warns of falling iguanas in Florida -CNN

I told this story to my eleven year old niece this morning and she thought it was hilarious that lizards could fall out of the sky onto people.

On a serious note: I know we're all reptile lovers here, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Being that they're invasive, it may help clear the field as bit.

It does sound funny when you're 11, but if you parked your car under a tree you might find it with a broken windshield & a badly-injured iguana in the driver's seat...
Or if you're really unlucky, you yourself might be injured, even killed, by a falling iguana of sufficient size...not really so funny after all.

That's actually what I was thinking...they mostly make terrible "pets" and there's very few suitable homes to rescue them, but this is a perfect opportunity to euthanize the unwanted invaders in a fairly "kind" way (while they're incapacitated). I'm a reptile lover like the rest of you, but they're invasive non-native species that negatively impact our native species in Florida, so this cold snap is an opportunity to reduce their numbers.
