Florida is located in the southeastern United States. Most of
the state is a large peninsula with the Gulf of Mexico on its west
and the Atlantic Ocean on its east. Florida's economy relies heavily
on tourism. The capital is Tallahassee and the largest city is
Jacksonville, but the largest metropolitan area and the major
cultural center of the state is Miami.
The climate of Florida is tempered somewhat by its proximity to
water. Most of the state has a humid subtropical climate, except for
the southern tip which borders on tropical and the Florida Keys
which have a true tropical climate. Cold fronts can occasionally
bring high winds and cool to cold temperatures to the entire state
during late fall and winter.
Florida's nickname is the "Sunshine State," but central Florida is
known as the lightning capital of the United States, experiencing
more lightning strikes than anywhere else in the country. Florida
has the highest average precipitation of any state, in large part
because afternoon thunderstorms are common in most of the state from
late spring until early autumn. A fair day may be interrupted with a
storm, only to return to sunshine. Florida also leads the United
States in tornadoes per square mile, but these tornadoes do not
typically reach the intensity of those in the Midwest and Great
Plains.
Florida is one of only nine states that do not impose a personal
income tax. If you are thinking of moving to Florida, please fill
