Honestly kind of surprised they'd put a data center there. Isn't Louisiana known for swamps and hurricanes?

Right? Wouldn’t the insurance costs outweigh how cheap the land is?

North eastern Louisiana is no more likely to see a hurricane than southern Arkansas or mid-Mississippi

Only south Louisiana. They’re putting the data center more north.
