New NAP Opening in Miami this week

Thu Jun 28 20:12:57 UTC 2001

Very little in Florida is much above sea level, especially in coastal areas.
32 feet is plenty to avoid flooding, and the building is extremely solid,
and is certainly capable of surviving a storm surge. Of course, the many
structures in between the NAP and the beach would help with that as well.
It's not like the facility is actually on the beach. It's about two blocks
from the Miami Arena.
