Sorry, I agree its not ideal, didn't mean to make it sound like a good thing. In my mind its better than burning coolant however. Once it cranked (no easy task, I almost gave in thinking I hydrolocked it) it burned the water that had built up off I let it run till the steam stopped then drove around the block just to be sure. I don't recommended anyone have an impromptu failure and steam clean their motor like I did.

just so you know, antifreeze also raises the boiling point of water too, so add antifreeze to your core, even tho your in FL.
