In South Florida, sea levels have already risen several inches since the start of the century and could be around six feet higher by 2100. But another factor could be making those sunny day floods ...
The melting of all the ice in West Antarctica would increase the total sea level rise to 4.3 m (14 ft 1 in). [119] However, mountain ice caps not in contact with water are less vulnerable than the majority of the ice sheet, which is located below the sea level. [120] Its collapse would cause ~3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) of sea level rise. [121]
English: This report and accompanying datasets from the U.S. Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Hazard Scenarios and Tools Interagency Task Force provide 1) sea level rise scenarios to 2150 by decade that include estimates of vertical land motion and 2) a set of extreme water level probabilities for various heights along the U.S. coastline.

Dozens of cities along the US coastline are sinking at alarming rates, leaving them far more exposed to devastating flooding from sea level rise than previously thought, scientists reported ...
Miami has been described as "ground zero" for climate change and sea level rise." [90] The Miami-Dade County Office of Resilience has implemented climate programs and a Climate Action Plan, [91] [92] and there is a Sea Level Rise Committee.
