Wet weather helps water levels at Lake #Okeechobee #eco #everglades - Florida Wires we need the water!!!

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Some wet fall weather is helping improve Lake Okeechobee's water level.

The South Florida Water Management District says three major rainstorms helped bring the lake from a level of about 11.1 feet a month ago to about 13.7 feet as of Monday.

That's still below the historical average of about 15 feet, but a drastic improvement for a major South Florida water source.
