This is the Enterprise boat ramp in Deltona on Lake Monroe. The picture was taken Friday morning Oct 7, 2022.
That is at least 4 to 6 feet above normal. The floating docks are over their poles that they ride up and down on.

Man, I know that's gotta be tough on the folks that live there.
Sure hope everyone is safe and don't lose everything they have.
Flooding is a horrible thing.
Prayers to those that have been affected by Ian.

Thanks for the pic Jim. I saw Tv footage of downtown Sanford where the water is over the sea wall and into downtown. Apartment complexes are connected by streams instead of roads. My daughter works for the D O T a and said that this is being classed a 500 year event and that we’ll be carrying flooding issues into next year. If it doesn’t rain much more, then all bets are off.
Wowsers, prayers for all folks affected
River conditions report since Ian.
This is from what I’ve seen first hand and from friends that live on it.
Working from south to north.
C.S. Lee boat ramp (between lake Harney and Puzzle lake) is closed. So is portions of SR 46 in the same area.
A friend lives about a half mile north of Harney and the river is at least 3-4 times wider at her place.
I haven’t heard or checked but I suspect the ramps at Lemon Bluff, Mullet Lake Park and Cameron Wright Park are closed too. The road to Mullet looks like it’s closed on the map. Even if they are open the river is idle zone from Lemon to Cameron during flood conditions.
Lake Monroe: Ramp in Enterprise on the north end is probably still under construction and closed. City ramp in Sanford is probably closed too as water is flooding some areas of downtown.
West side of Monroe, Seminole county ramp on the south and Volusia county ramp on the north are closed.
The water is up to the tops of the bridge fenders on the I-4 overpass.
Highbanks ramp is closed.
I live about 500 yards south of it. Our community dock, the water is up to the handrail. The handrail is about 3’ above the dock and the dock is normally about 2’ above the water.
Here’s a picture from Tuesday. It’s up a couple inches from then.
I haven’t been north of here so any reports from other parts north would be helpful to all.
Current is honking. Huge Mats of hyacinths floating down river. We’ve seen palm trees floating as well. I’m sure there are other trees and limbs floating partially submerged as well.
Very few if any boats on the river here.
Ed Stone Ramps are closed. Water is over the staging area and over the seawall along the river.
All I’m sure of is that I need to fish. A road trip may be in my near future. Some clays in the meantime is cool but I’m going through withdrawals, shaking and the thousand yard stare are normal lately.
I started a new cast net to keep my mind off of fishing. It should take me 4 or 5 months to finish. I hope the water is down by then.:scratchheadQuote:

Here is our docks a few days ago on the Saint Johns by Riverbend. Was told the water was being released from Rodman dam as it’s having issues. Going to be a long fall for sue.Attachment 438845Attachment 438846

Downtime, I heard nothing about drawing down Rodman. Doesn't sound like they should drain it down now with all the high water in the St John's. Has anyone on here heard anything about this?

I don't think they have a choice. All the water draining into rodman from the south is overflowing it

I was told that are releasing water as it’s at flood stage and to keep the damn safe it has to be done. Just hope they are able to keep it at a low rate for everyone on the Saint Johns.Quote:
