Yes, what's your point? That doesn't refute the prediction that even a slight sea level rise will cause more frequent flooding in South Florida due to slower drainage of rainwater.
My point is that while most of Florida won't be constantly underwater in 2100, significant parts of it will be underwater more often than they are now unless there are major, expensive upgrades to flood control infrastructure. While the original claim might have been overstated there are likely serious problems coming that will hit Florida harder than most other states.

Ok, well 'most of the Florida Peninsula' is significantly above 2m elevation.

My point is I was replying to a comment that said most of Florida will be underwater in 2100, which is not true, as I said.
