I just checked the back yard Jim. Couple slowed-down skeeters came at me and the pool deck needs scrubbing but otherwise all clear.
And I haven't heard any neighbors complaining, so I guess Orlando, which is in orange county, mid state, dodged the bullet this time.
And ordinarily we are the part of the state that gets the cold temps and the iguana drops, but this time around, the counties south of us and on the coasts got more chill -and consequently more iguana droppage -than we did. I'm kinda disappointed. So much excitement to sit out on our deck chairs drinking mai thai's and watching iguanas hit the dirt.
But I hate to disapoint you, given your obsession with the idea of helpless cold blooded critter falling from the skies, so I rounded up the news from elsewhere - a bit further south.

Florida DistributionGreen iguana populations now stretch along the Atlantic Coast in Broward, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe and Palm Beach Counties and along the Gulf Coast in Collier and Lee Counties. There have also been reports as far north as Alachua, Highlands, Hillsborough, Indian River and St. Lucie Counties.
