Flood Map: Water Level Elevation Map
If you want to sea what different levels of sea level rise will do to where you live or are concerned about you can plug in any almost any amount of rise on the above map word button after to go there. But the minimum rise you can put in appears to be 1 meter which is 39.37 inches or about 1 yard.
I was surprised that of all Florida's main cities that only a 50 foot rise left only Orlando and Tallahassee above water in Florida of their main cities.
By the way I tried to check how much sea level is presently predicted to rise worldwide by 2100.
The present prediction (but subject to change regarding the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets etc.) is presently 18 to 59 centimeters. I converted 59 centimeters to inches at 23.2283 inches or approximately 1/2 meter which is 39.37 inches.
IPCC (2007) predicts that by 2100 sea level will rise between 18 and 59 cm, but does not include a component for ice calving (ice-sheet dynamic processes).

However, I couldn't get the flood map of the world to go below 1 meter so I used 1 meter and even at this
39.37 inches or about approximately 1 yard it floods all the way to STockton and Southern Sacramento in
California through the San Francisco Bay up the Sacramento River Floodplain. Since over 23 inches are
the maximum predicted at least at this point by 2100 trying to see what 1 meter will do to any property you
are buying or own or are renting might be a useful thing to do regarding your decisions between now and
2100 anywhere you are on earth or are planning to buy.
