I say this out of genuine curiosity: does Florida even make sense for data centers with the increasing weather patterns there? Feels like every time I read news about Florida, if it’s not political, it’s some natural disaster.

I assume there must be companies doing things like this there but would the big co’s actually want anything there?

I just used Florida for one counter example but Tennessee and Alabama just rolled out the red carpet, as results have come in, too. The usual course of things like this is the corporations will play different jurisdictions off each other to get more and more off taxpayers dime like pro sports stadiums and Amazon heralded HQ2 - thankfully voters in a lot of states mentioned rejected unlimited data centers - but it is not universal. The fight continues.

Florida is immaterial and effectively irrelevant to the DC buildout

And you seem to be unaware that Florida was the one single outlier in an otherwise massive rejection of of the status quo.

Just from browsing headlines yesterday Alabama and Tennessee also elected pro data center governors so it’s not universal.
