If you live along the St. Johns River in Astor, more water is coming. Lake County Emergency Management says recent rain and more in the forecast should push levels higher before they drop, and Brevard County's rain is expected to drain into the river from Cocoa to Astor.

In late October the river hit moderate flood stage after peaking near 3.8 feet, and hurricane conditions can push it to about 4.7 feet. Boaters, please keep to idle speed and leave no wake near flooded properties.
