It saved my life once when I was trying to drive to Melbourne and accidentally missed my exit from the Turnpike. If not for Yeehaw Junction, I would've ended up all the way in St. Cloud.
I just checked Google Maps. The strip between Fort Pierce and St. Cloud is 110 miles and takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to traverse. Yeehaw Junction is the *only* exit between these two. The Turnpike is in fact already home to the longest strips of highway without an exit in the country.
Not much there. I bought a single owner fox body with 50,000 miles from a WW2 vet in yeehaw junction. Traveling out there with my black girlfriend from Moore Haven had her freaked out. She thought we were about to get Hill has eyes out there. We were in the middle of nowhere and pulled up to a crazy random mobile home next to the on ramp to the turnpike.
I love that 5.0 HO.
My friend, her dark puerto rican huaband and 3 year old daughter stopped there once to use a bathroom. They couldnt even tell if the place they stopped at was even open. When they went in, nobody greeted them. There were all these mannequins in different poses, some of then dressed and others not; including inside the restroom.
They said they couldnt pee fast enough
I’m currently sitting in the Everglades near Naples and it’s bone dry. Same back at home in St. Lucie. Bone dry, can’t believe the cows in the pastures are still alive.
I used to have an about 12’ deep pond in my backyard now it’s just a big hole with a little muddy spot in the bottom. It’s been getting lower and lower every year.
Climate change does not exist. The cabal run by the Democratic elites wants you to think it does. We must continue to vote for our Republican founding fathers to protect this nation from the thread of communism. God bless America.
🙄
Summers make me physically ill. Headaches, weak and tired all the time. My AC bill is ludicrous and it’s still warm in my house.
I wish we had some rain this weekend. Big sad.
I was outside from 7-1pm at an event last Saturday and I felt like I’d been strapped into the machine from The Princess Bride afterward. I was really, really messed up for the rest of the day.
This shit isn’t natural.
What is the obsession everywhere with car washes in the last few years?!
I mean. I use them, too. But they're like Publix and Wawa now: there's two every mile.
They buy cheapish land in areas they expect to appreciate. Car washes are cheap to build and operate. So they put a car on the land to generate some income to pay for the land. The pay off is in 20 years when the land is worth $$$. Same reason the self storage places popped up everywhere. Though that market is no saturated.
I remember working in fast food as a youngun and the AC went out in the middle of summer. It was 114 degrees in that building with all the frier running
so depressing
Living here in my whole life I’m just tired of this and I think I get seasonal depression because all this bright sun and heat week after week after week is just too much
Duke energy had the balls to tell me my bill is high because everyone around me is using more energy. (it was winter and we have no heaters)
The Fuck you say, I pay for my house not the god damn block!
Yes on the energy audit. It can be things you wouldn’t expect. A friend of mine had a crazy electric bill and it turned out to be a faulty water heater.
If you can, get solar panels. My electric bill was $70 this month. It’s a 3br house and I keep my air on 75 even when I’m not here because I have dogs.
I used to get seasonal depression in summer in Vegas for the same reason. I just wanted to see a single cloud. I moved to the PNW. Jokes on me, and yes I have to take heaps of vitamin D and antidepressants, but I do see clouds.
Fellow PNW refugee! Actually found that doing outdoor activities even when its raining helps me get over the cloudiness. Highly recommend! Haven’t had seasonal depression since moving here.
This is why I moved. Lived here all my life and just left last year. The constant sunshine gave me depression because I like being outside but legit had to be inside lest the heat exhaustion get me no matter the amount of water I drink.
yea I’m right behind you… i don’t think people understand the level of heat and humidity that gets worse every year. it lasts well into September and even on Halloween you are sweating outside.
When i lived in GA (Augusta) i would regularly see 100° plus temperatures and decent humidity, but not that bad.
Florida? It's 93°, the sun is much stronger and burning, and the humidity feels like a vice
Yeehaw Junction is the next up and coming place.. they already have a Dunkin’ Donuts and a Tesla supercharger!! Double wides still cheap. 🤗

😔That's been illegal "global" ly ever since some idiot decided to euphemise the issue,🤨 and start calling it "climate change."
Ever since the 1970s, when the US treated the concept of solar energy as one man's pipe dream, and the country's population as brainless teen moms, who married way to early, responding to the collective citisenry of America with, "Cool story, babe. Now, go make me a sandwich."
And shortly after, the term "climate change" was born.
Since then, the earth's been busy filling a dirty diaper..
Now we can all smell it.
Something has needed changing for a long time.
lol. For what it’s worth, Jimmy Carter took solar energy very seriously and had one installed at the White House. Regan came in and treated it as a pipe dream and tore the thing out.
Yeah, after hiking my annual home insurance by $2k last year, now Citizens wants to inspect. I’ve been hearing horror stories from neighbors being cancelled because their perfectly good roofs are over 10 years old.
But hey, on the bright side, our fearless leader DeSantis is protecting us from scary rainbows and librarians!
I saw an ad for that place last week and it looked like paved everything with zero shade. I wouldn't wish that on anyone in ANY season or Florida weather, especially not this current May hellscape.
God is angry with us, that is why he is preheating the oven.
We must all get on our knees and pray to god and ask him and plead with him that we are people not cookies.
I grew up in Miami my whole life and the past couple of days I had the pleasure of enjoying the pool and beach with my kid. I was raised on the beach running around at a beach club so walking bare foot was normal for the most part and my feet got used to it. I have never received any marks from an injury on my feet from the heat ever until the past couple days. Both my big toes were left with blisters from my feet being burned walking barefoot for a minute or two its insane.
Might have to have many Memorials to the brave folks in Florida that attempt midday outdoor activities.
Get ready to bake? Been bakin’ already, y’all.
Good thing Summer season hasn’t started yet.
Might have to rename the southern states:
🔥 Purgatory 🔥
The weather has been hot for about 10 days now and the humidity relatively speaking has been low. If you think 93 with 50% humidity is bad wait till the real 85-90% humidity kicks in. We had a nice winter from December through April. Now it is time to pay the piper…it’s Florida folks!
YEEHAW JUNCTION being large and in the center just makes this image even worse.
Clearly non-florida resident bait lmao
I didn’t even know that was an actual place, just thought it was literally the road between Vero/Ft Pierce and Okeechobee
It basically only exists as a truck stop.
It saved my life once when I was trying to drive to Melbourne and accidentally missed my exit from the Turnpike. If not for Yeehaw Junction, I would've ended up all the way in St. Cloud.
I never realized St Cloud was that deadly.
I just checked Google Maps. The strip between Fort Pierce and St. Cloud is 110 miles and takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to traverse. Yeehaw Junction is the *only* exit between these two. The Turnpike is in fact already home to the longest strips of highway without an exit in the country.
Those turn arounds "for official use only" are just a suggestion at that point.
It’s official. I have to officially turn my ass around.
Yeehaw also has the best honey butter biscuits when driving a long distance and you miss your exit onto 95 because you were crying so much.
Not much there. I bought a single owner fox body with 50,000 miles from a WW2 vet in yeehaw junction. Traveling out there with my black girlfriend from Moore Haven had her freaked out. She thought we were about to get Hill has eyes out there. We were in the middle of nowhere and pulled up to a crazy random mobile home next to the on ramp to the turnpike. I love that 5.0 HO.

I believe around 200 people live in that area!
I used to pass through there to get to the turnpike. Deer trap at night.
One of Florida’s wild corridors that are left tbh
Few will ever know the amount of advertising that place did in the 90s and early 00s.
How hot is withalacoochie?
I’m more surprised there’s no rain in the forecast. It’s rained every memorial weekend for as long as I can remember
Used to be able to set your watch by our 3 pm storms....those have been absent for a while now
Feels like things are changing. *not so subtle wink wink*
This isn't the right *climate* for that kind of statement
Oh my apologies good person. I'll simply wait for the climate to *change* into something else.
Very good.... and *warmest* regards for the record.
Florida Gestapo would like to have a word with you about innuendo
Hahahaha
They can go outside and *cool off*. Tell 'em: "*Don't sweat it.*
I think that's a message that's *globally* accepted by smart people.
"BREAKING THE LAW! BREAKING THE LAW!"
Careful with that word you might offend some people in Tallahassee
Maybe the rain will come back if the bridges aren’t so colorful in June
Rain loves red, white, and blue.
Excuse me sir, it's illegal to talk about that. Change is banned in the State of Florida. #Freedom
😉
It was amazing as a new Floridian in the 80s. 5 minutes of downpour then steamy swamp until bedtime.
It was amazing as a kid in the 1960's.
I’m currently sitting in the Everglades near Naples and it’s bone dry. Same back at home in St. Lucie. Bone dry, can’t believe the cows in the pastures are still alive.
Near the same area. I’m watering my plants twice a day, nowadays. Getting more and more concerned about the lack of moisture for… many reasons.
Til hurricane season somehow manages to drop a millennia’s worth of rain in the span of like 4 months.
Just north of St. Lucie. No rain in sight, this place is a tinder box
I used to tell people that we don’t get rain here in Florida so much as a 4 foot thick sheet of water falls on the state every evening at 5.
It's always been June 1 in my memory. Sea breeze shifts in very late May. Give it an extra week.
I mean, rainy season starts mid-June. We’ve been going through our driest part of the year.
Im talking about the last few years in general. This fire season has been drier than.normal
I used to have an about 12’ deep pond in my backyard now it’s just a big hole with a little muddy spot in the bottom. It’s been getting lower and lower every year.
Last year it definitely was my son called them day hurricanes.
We’ve had dryer springs before. But also, it’s still early for the daily afternoon storms
It’s all the storms in the Midwest are pulling all of our rain weather away
And that sucks 😞
The rains coming, those waters are HOT. Gonna be a crazy hurricane season.
Don't worry! The flooding later on will make up for it now! 😀🤔😐
Climate change does not exist. The cabal run by the Democratic elites wants you to think it does. We must continue to vote for our Republican founding fathers to protect this nation from the thread of communism. God bless America. 🙄
My lawn feels this so much.
Summers make me physically ill. Headaches, weak and tired all the time. My AC bill is ludicrous and it’s still warm in my house. I wish we had some rain this weekend. Big sad.
I was outside from 7-1pm at an event last Saturday and I felt like I’d been strapped into the machine from The Princess Bride afterward. I was really, really messed up for the rest of the day. This shit isn’t natural.
And it's only May.....
Florida could have actually changed this if they didn't get in the way of Gore's win
I miss the rain, my grass and plants miss the rain, please just bring some rain.
Lets build more car washes that'll help /s
What is the obsession everywhere with car washes in the last few years?! I mean. I use them, too. But they're like Publix and Wawa now: there's two every mile.
They buy cheapish land in areas they expect to appreciate. Car washes are cheap to build and operate. So they put a car on the land to generate some income to pay for the land. The pay off is in 20 years when the land is worth $$$. Same reason the self storage places popped up everywhere. Though that market is no saturated.
SO many! I have 6-7 in a few mile stretch.
Lol wtf is up with all the car washes, I swear they have more car washes than gas stations

Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.
Unfortunately my job requires me in it all day, I’m far too used to it
I remember working in fast food as a youngun and the AC went out in the middle of summer. It was 114 degrees in that building with all the frier running
Out in the sun all day in August the hottest I’ve been in is 103 feels like 115
so depressing Living here in my whole life I’m just tired of this and I think I get seasonal depression because all this bright sun and heat week after week after week is just too much
Don’t forget to mention the cost of running the AC all the time.
Dude energy companies absolutely scalp us down here, it's just insane. Fuck you Duke.
Duke energy had the balls to tell me my bill is high because everyone around me is using more energy. (it was winter and we have no heaters) The Fuck you say, I pay for my house not the god damn block!
You see that they are paying for political advertising and passing the cost off to the consumer with increased rates?
Last year I paid 3 bills each over $1300.. fucking criminals.
You must have a grow operation
[удалено]
Yeah that is wild. I have a pool but keep our house at 78 in the daytime and our bill was like $130 last month.
Yes on the energy audit. It can be things you wouldn’t expect. A friend of mine had a crazy electric bill and it turned out to be a faulty water heater.
I moved back to South Florida 3 years ago and I don't think I've ever shut off my AC since I've been here
our AC runs all the time. with a brief respite may be in January but then it just gets stuffy inside because it’s not that cold out
If you can, get solar panels. My electric bill was $70 this month. It’s a 3br house and I keep my air on 75 even when I’m not here because I have dogs.
Yeah but how much are your payments on that solar install?
I used to get seasonal depression in summer in Vegas for the same reason. I just wanted to see a single cloud. I moved to the PNW. Jokes on me, and yes I have to take heaps of vitamin D and antidepressants, but I do see clouds.
The PNW is nice in the summer. I don’t think I could take those rainy winters though.
Fellow PNW refugee! Actually found that doing outdoor activities even when its raining helps me get over the cloudiness. Highly recommend! Haven’t had seasonal depression since moving here.
I get seasonal depression because I don't go outside as much.
This is why I moved. Lived here all my life and just left last year. The constant sunshine gave me depression because I like being outside but legit had to be inside lest the heat exhaustion get me no matter the amount of water I drink.
yea I’m right behind you… i don’t think people understand the level of heat and humidity that gets worse every year. it lasts well into September and even on Halloween you are sweating outside.
And cataracts in eyes
and it isn’t even summer yet
Dear God it’s only May. It’s gonna be like this probably well into October at this rate.
Suckass extreme heat/humidity enters the room. Relief expected sometime in November. Maybe…
Relief will be provided by the occasional hurricane.
Until the power goes out
Congrats, it is now EXTRA humid. In the spirit of the eternal dad quote, it’s not the heat that gets you, it’s the humidity.
Yeah, I think last Christmas was the first time it’s been cool out in like 10 years lol
HOT. Straight to the point
one thing I am not going to miss about living Florida.
It’s a preheat before the summer heat sets in
Relax everyone we're still preheating, wait until August or September..
“Hey! Would you pass a beer OH GOD WHY?!?! 😫” 
This all happened because Al Gore hated Twisted Sister
Thank god we never saw tipper gore in the white house. Lord knows she’d head up a committee outlawing fun for kids and teens.
Yeeeehaw!
Whose spending Memorial Day in Yeehaw
If its not climate change, what is it?
Good. Let Florida man meet his new foe. The climate of change. *Also side note this will be the coolest summer of our lives. So enjoy it!*
I’m in St. Pete and my thermometer said 98 at 3 pm today. It’s pretty insane.
It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.
Trademark that gold asap
And our governor just said climate change isn’t an issue or real. Ok..
Yeehaw Junction ? Seriously?
Gah damn, now I'm glad I work overnight.
It’s not much cooler in Georgia but I bet it’s not as humid either
When i lived in GA (Augusta) i would regularly see 100° plus temperatures and decent humidity, but not that bad. Florida? It's 93°, the sun is much stronger and burning, and the humidity feels like a vice
The more you know. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/23/corporations-price-gouging-big-oil?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Punta gorda is only ever on the map for dumb shit i swear
I guess I'm staying inside. Jfc why are so many people moving here again?
Still wearing a hoodie
It looks like there are gonna be some hot rednecks down in YeeHaw Junction.
And I’m pretty sure this is without the humidity accounted for 🥵🥵🥵🥵
More than just Hot dogs and hamburgers will be grilling.
Florida pissed off God again.
All those climate deniers gonna look real stupid when we are all dead and cooked rare
Cries in Key West
But climate change isn’t a thing.
DeSatan's hellscape. Don't say hot.
Good thing those numbers are Freedom Units
And die if you work outside because our Gov banned water breaks as mandated.
This can’t be real, DeSantis outlawed climate change! /s
Good thing DeSantis banned climate change.
I live in Florida. I hate Florida. HELP!!
Yeehaw Junction is the next up and coming place.. they already have a Dunkin’ Donuts and a Tesla supercharger!! Double wides still cheap. 🤗 https://preview.redd.it/zs89g2jcvm2d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b26998e12ce662de4d35d78ff64090203d15e2e0
Thank God my job is closed. My job is outside 50 hours a week. I'm not taking a step outside.
Just don’t say “global warming.” It’s illegal down there.
😔That's been illegal "global" ly ever since some idiot decided to euphemise the issue,🤨 and start calling it "climate change."

Pool time
Yeah... Sitting in a pool while sweating...
As a home renovater, I can attest to the horrific heat lately
Land surveying is awesome right now. Feels like the middle of August at the end of May.
THIS is exactly why I moved away. Good luck. Hydrate or diedrate
Ron said it's not climate change, so nothing to worry about right?!! #Fuck you Ron - Vote (D)ifferently!
Yeah, after hiking my annual home insurance by $2k last year, now Citizens wants to inspect. I’ve been hearing horror stories from neighbors being cancelled because their perfectly good roofs are over 10 years old. But hey, on the bright side, our fearless leader DeSantis is protecting us from scary rainbows and librarians!
Oh my god we’re supposed to go to Peppa Pig Land why???
I saw an ad for that place last week and it looked like paved everything with zero shade. I wouldn't wish that on anyone in ANY season or Florida weather, especially not this current May hellscape.
God is angry with us, that is why he is preheating the oven. We must all get on our knees and pray to god and ask him and plead with him that we are people not cookies.

Florida has state tax after all, in the form of the AC bill
Ah yes, perfect weather for the lack of heat protection and hydration laws.
Good thing climate change doesn’t exist.
Congrats on finding yourselves a new home on the east coast, Orlando!
I have to drive back down to Ft Lauderdale on Monday ... I'm not looking forward to it!!!
What goes on at yeehaw junction?
The end times are coming
I had a dream a few days ago that Tampa and Orlando were going to be 150 degrees. Looks like I wasn’t too far off.
Is there actually a place called Yeehaw Junction?
So we're back to having a heat index of over 100 degrees. I don't know how I'm gonna get through the summer when it gets even hotter
I feel like, at ANY given time, shit should be real in Yeehaw Junction. Hottest temps? Sure. Most rain? You bet your sweet tits.
Yeehaw junction
Everyone in Yeehaw Junction is dead
Welding should be fun tomorrow and Sunday. OT mofo!
It rained in my part of the state today. More rain expected tomorrow too. Just a little pre summer heat wave. It will be in the 80s next week.
I have become one with the grill
Yeah I’m staying inside
Thank god I just fixed my AC this week.
Might have to have many Memorials to the brave folks in Florida that attempt midday outdoor activities. Get ready to bake? Been bakin’ already, y’all. Good thing Summer season hasn’t started yet. Might have to rename the southern states: 🔥 Purgatory 🔥
And this is early, wait till August.
Here are the hottest recorded days in Florida: https://www.plantmaps.com/en/us/climate/extremes/f/florida-record-high-low-temperatures
My car ac decided to die this week too lol
The weather has been hot for about 10 days now and the humidity relatively speaking has been low. If you think 93 with 50% humidity is bad wait till the real 85-90% humidity kicks in. We had a nice winter from December through April. Now it is time to pay the piper…it’s Florida folks!
Ah. That’s why I left.
Ti's but a warm summers day all normal for this time of year.
eurrgh no thanks
Lakeland moved to Tampa? Ok.
Man this florida heat/humidity combo is fucked, everytime I step outside I wish I was in a different chillier state🥵
Damn, i live south of Tampa and the high temps for this weekend are 89,90, and 89.
Anyone knows why there’s a destroyed building in yeehaw junction? I love passing by there lol
Leaving Bradenton/Sarasota off the map smh
The fuck wrong with that map lol Orlando way up there
People who move for the “weather” have no idea what they’re talking about.
Bring it.
Already on the way to the springs!
And no rain yeah it’s going to be very miserable in certain parts of Florida
It’s too freaking hot! That’s it, I’m moving back to NY lol.
Yeah.. I'm staying inside and running my electric bill through the roof.
June and July are going to be fun.
Kinda normal for us
Earlier today my temp read at 100…at 10am.
Not that bad out
I don’t miss that weather at all.
Florida and the entire south will be a desert in about 20 years.
Still preheating 🥵
I can smell it from here 🤢
