Why would NASA have built launch pads in a state with such violent weather? Hurricanes, torrential rain and thunderstorms. The extra cost due to scrubbed launches is in the billions. Politics. They should have built them in the desert. Now they're playing the global warming card. Does this nonsense EVER stop??

NASA is justifiably worried, since that region will be underwater in a
few decades.

We've heard dire predictions like this a decade ago, didn't come to pass. Also, they never thought twice about shooting off hundreds of atomic bombs in the desert, despite them being "land-locked" and not as far south as Florida.
