ORLANDO, Fla. - Florida is home to some of the craziest stories in the entire country – but turns out it's one of the best places to be if you want to survive a zombie apocalypse!
Just in time for Halloween, a new report from Lawn Love - a national lawncare company – lists the U.S. cities with the best odds of making it out alive should a zombie uprising happen. Surprisingly, three major Florida cities made the top ten list.
The ranking was based on several key factors including access to bunkers, hunting-gear stores and supermarkets.
According to the report, Orlando is the No. 1 place to be if you want a good chance at surviving a zombie attack, with Tampa and Miami coming in sixth and eighth place. Orlando's vast amount of hospitals to contain a disease outbreak and ranking first in the supplies and protection categories makes The City Beautiful a prime location for a survivor's colony – should you see your family and friends start to turn.

The findings also note that the Midwest seems to be a smart choice for a hideout because properties "not only generous in square footage, but they also commonly come with basements that you can convert into bunkers."
