As others have noted 2 feet is the low end of the estimate, but the threat isn't just from land lost to sea level rise, that's the. The first thing you'll notice living in Florida is coastal flooding, but the imminent and more pressing danger is salt water intrusion. You don't need to cover all the surface of land with water for that happen. If sea levels rise only 2 feet the fresh water sources along the coasts are threatened from salt water coming in from the sides. Florida is particularly vulnerable because it has very porous limestone geology. This geology allows for deeper interior advancement of salt water compared to other coastal areas, meaning less sea level rise is required for large fresh water impacts Here's a good visualization on what salt water intrusion is https://blogs.egu.eu/network/gfgd/2018/02/12/saltwater-intrusion-causes-impacts-and-mitigation/ https://blogs.egu.eu/network/gfgd/2018/02/12/saltwater-intru...
