Florida Man Went Swimming in the Ocean During Hurricane IanActually, make that Florida men, but since we always talked about the singular Florida Man's ridiculous exploits, I had to massage the title a bit.The waters off the pier in Fort Myers, Florida, were roiling due to Hurricane Ian, and three men decided that it was the perfect time to go for a little swim. The video clip, as captured by a nearby webcam, shows how dangerous and foolhardy this was. As one commenter on the tweet stated, "Florida man gonna Florida man."#HurricaneIan #hurricane #Florida #FloridaMan #swimming #pier #ocean

The Traveler: Hyper-Realistic Sculpture of a Weary Traveler at a Florida AirportThat's not a middle-aged guy asleep on his travel bags waiting for his delayed flight at the airport. That's a statue of a middle-aged guy asleep on his travel bags waiting for his delayed flight!The hyper-realistic statue titled "The Traveler" was created by American artist Duane Hanson (1925-1996). Hanson was well known for creating life-sized realistic sculptures of people out of polyester resin and fiberglass.Orlando International Airport (MCO) has owned Hanson's "The Traveler" statue since 1986. It's located in the Terminal A concourse, between the East and West security gates. The next time you find yourself there, stop by and say hello to the man - he'll still be waiting for his flight!Image: u/WhatWasThatLike#statue #TheTraveler #sleepingman #DuaneHanson #Florida #airport #OrlandoInternationalAirport #MCO
