Err... I would say "mere" myself. The bigger question is how far out of reach of a storm surge is it? And is EVERYTHING 32' up?

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. - Daniel L. Golding

That's the useful fact that was missing. Being inland is essential. Being inland and being in up in a STURDY building is also... -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433

Yeah, but being on the beach would have rocked.

actually, 32 feet isn't bad. i grew up in a house in St. Pete that was 17 feet above sea level, and we never had any significant flooding problems. richard
The highest point in Florida is 345 feet (Walton County). Mountain climbing anyone? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Welty" <rwelty@averillpark.net> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2001 2:28 PM Subject: Re: New NAP Opening in Miami this week
