9. Being a Floridian, I don't see how long people will be able to continue living on these islands.

And how long we can continue to live in Florida and now North Carolina. The only thing that helps us in Florida is that the flooding in a lot of areas just disappears overnight. We have new lakes form in our development and they are usually gone by the next day or two due to drought conditions and the sun/heat.
