By 2100, 1/3rd of the state is projected to be underwater. But long before that, Florida will get way more serious flooding, and far more powerful hurricanes.

- metadat 3y agoTo be fair, this is a sensational headline - exodus.. of a trillion dollar company, into 45,000 sqft? We aren't talking aboutnmuch office space at all. In fact, it's only maybe +/- 10 small rooms offshooting from a few cube farms, once you account for passageways, restrooms, and other human essentials.
