St Augustine, Florida
Flooding has been plaguing America’s oldest city, St Augustine, for a long time. And will probably continue to do so since the area is reportedly one of the East Coast locations that are most under threat.
According to reports, there’s a 64% chance of at least one flood over 4 feet between now and 2050 in the St Augustine region.
In 2016, Hurricane Matthew unleashed unparalleled flooding on the city’s stunning historic downtown area, overseen by coastal fort Castillo de San Marcos, built by the Spanish in 1672.
Side Note: If you’ve never been to this majestic part of the US, we highly suggest you do it NOW, while you still can! Just don’t forget to bring your sunscreen. After all, you WILL be in the middle of all that Florida heat!
San Francisco Bay Area, California
On the US’s West Coast, the San Francisco Bay Area looks to be most in jeopardy of major future coastal flooding due to rising sea levels.
Climate Control’s Coastal Risk Screening Tool displays extreme flooding around the Bay Area, putting parts of this city, Oakland, and Foster City underwater within the next couple of decades.
Also underwater is the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge, mud flats, a tidal marsh, and a vital wetland habitat in Sonoma County, with the flooding rising close to the wine-growing area of Napa Valley and the capital Sacramento.

Amazing that many do not see climate change as what it tells is, nature changing. But that explanation does not allow for taxing and controlling freedoms, which is what the globalists and democrats really want! The positive side to it is that many of today’s youth who are guillible enough to support it will eventually end up working for the collective and realizing reality sucks!
Exactly. Remember our lifespans are short compared to the age of our planet and it has gone through several climate changes.
More than just Louisiana coastal areas, think about Port Arthur, Galveston, and possibly Corpus Christi. The Gulf is coming!
I do Notice a complete disregard of the phenomenon of “Subsidence”, being land settling due to ground water pumping caused by man needing a drink.
And I also Notice a complete disregard of the phenomenon of “Erosion”, being the washing away of the beaches and coastlines due to Entirely NATURAL action of waves washing away sand and soil.
But then again this being one of those “Alarmist” articles on Anthroprogenic climate change and only mentioning Subsidence in regard to “Skyscrapers” , I guess it should have been expected.
But I also Remember from high school a photograph of an Old Buick Car ( new at the time of the photo ) with a guy leaning on the fender, And pointing out the telephone poles in the background and stating that the Tops of the poles (30-40′ above the Car ) were at the original ground level, And The Surface had Settled due to groundwater Pumping for Crop Irrigation of the Napa and San Joaquin valleys, and population Growth in the area is ONLY going to make Subsidence worse.
Miami, Fl.?
Manmade Climate change is a fraud.
Just another way for the global elites to control people for world domination by controling fuel,food,funds and mobility of everyone by the NWO.
I’ve watched the Atlantic Ocean from the beach every day for the last 30 years.
The tides rise and fall twice a day.
The tides are very noticeable.
Every wave, large or small, washes up the sand.
The waves are very noticeable.
Whatever few millimeters the ocean level may have risen is dwarfed by the tides and waves is not noticeable.
Will many coastal land areas be completely inundated by the end of the century?
NOT SO’S YOU’D NOTICE!
What Miami did not make this list? It will be the first to go!!
