In a statement, the Miami National Weather Service office tweeted: "This isn't something we usually forecast, but don't be surprised if you see Iguanas falling from the trees tonight as lows drop into the 30s and 40s [Farehnheit]. Brrrr!"

The service also tried to calm any concerns citizens, pointing out that the reptiles weren't dying from the fall.

They added: "They may fall from trees, but they are not dead."
