Lake Okeechobee is at 12.48' right now. At the end of rainy season, it is supposed to be at 16', so, they shouldn't be draining it.

Right now, our streets have streams of bubbles coming up. Like little pinholes with bubbles - rather odd effect, and impossible to get a decent picture of. Kids are riding their bikes/scooters in the street, some are swimming, using skimboards.

I thought the lake would be full by now.

Guess too much of the rain has been down here and not enough where it's needed.

Their measurements update a few times a day. Much of the rain that fell is also trapped in stormwater systems in central florida - which will trickle down. But, much of the rain that fell, fell to the east of the lake.
