I mean, there already is migration from the coasts to inland states occuring, no climate change needed.

You didn't read closely. I wrote that I doubt there will be a "great migration to the Midwest from the coasts." I did
not write that I think there will be no "migration from the coasts."
1. Most all coastal states have inland areas that won't flood, and I think those areas are more likely to draw more residents pushed out of nearby coastal communities than will Midwestern states.
2. After the inland areas of coastal states, I expect the most coastal emigres to continue to move to inland states within the sun belt. The ten
fastest-growing inland states in the nation are, in order: Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Tennessee, Minnesota, and Nebraska. Numbers nine and ten are in the Midwest, so there's that--but numbers one through eight are outside the Midwest. To me it looks like the inland region most likely to (continue to) grow the most from coastal emigration is the Intermountain West.
But who knows, it's all conjecture.
