GLADES CO., Fla.-- The recent rain in South Florida is making the water levels rise in Lake Okeechobee.
The water level on Lake O rose about one foot during the last week. The lake level is about 13 1/2 feet.
The Army Corps of Engineers says discharges are a definite possibility if the rain continues. The corps prefers to have the lake level a little lower than this at the start of wet season.
