When lakes along the St. Johns River are expected to crest amid historic flooding

Water levels along Lake Monroe in Sanford may be the lowest residents see for weeks as floodwaters move north from Brevard County into Seminole County along the St. Johns River, emergency officials said.

Because the St. Johns River flows north, rising water is expected to push into Seminole County and nearby tributaries over an extended period. Lake Monroe could crest at more than 6 feet, and Lake Harney could crest at more than 10 feet in the next few weeks.
