What show or movie does it say it starts in Florida? I must have missed an episode or something. And yea you couldnt ask for a better place for it to start. I dont know a single person that doesnt own multiple guns in my town.
Yea there were 2 more cases that year in Florida that I heard of. One was a roommate attempting to eat the other roommate, and a mother ate or tried to eat her baby's toe.
The closest thing I have to a counterargument is that the heat qnd humidity will cause the zombies to decompose quicker, meaning that the rednecks wouldn't be entirely responsible for cancelling the apocalypse.
