- 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.
Since the St. Johns River flows northward, much of the excess rainfall is moving toward Seminole County, and could cause major flooding for dozens of lakes and streams. The river and lakes may not crest until Nov. 20-23.

- The cell phone data that helped catch a Florida murder suspect after 15 years

- Description
- Nearly 15 years after Michelle Parker disappeared, Orlando police say newly analyzed cellphone records helped lead to the arrest of Dale Smith, 55, in connection with her murder.
Smith was arrested Oct. 14. He has entered a plea of not guilty to a second-degree murder charge.
Parker, an Orlando mother, vanished in 2011 — hours after she and Smith appeared on the TV program The People’s Court. Her body has not been found.
According to an arrest affidavit, detectives this year reviewed the original cellular data records obtained in 2011 and discovered additional data that had not been analyzed.
“It is likely this data was not readable to detectives in 2011,” the report stated, “This data revealed more precise location and user data, to include messages, for the suspect’s and victims’ phones.”

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, owner of the property is considering a proposal to redevelop and rebrand the shopping plaza. The Wideman Company presented design renderings at a committee meeting Wednesday.

New plants and street art would also be added, along with “practical weather and shade” features.

- Dumpsters in driveways, work trucks lining the streets and damaged furniture piled outside homes have become common sights in Palm Bay neighborhoods following this week’s devastating flooding.
As families scramble to repair their homes and replace what they’ve lost, Brevard County Emergency Management issued an urgent warning Friday about another potential threat: predatory contractors looking to take advantage of disaster victims.
The county and BBB recommend:
Verify licenses and insurance. Check whether a contractor is properly licensed for the work being performed through MyFloridaLicense.com.
Get three written estimates. Compare itemized quotes before agreeing to repairs.
Watch for pressure tactics. Be suspicious of anyone demanding an immediate decision or offering a deal that expires if you don’t sign right away.
Avoid paying in full upfront. Be cautious about cash-only demands and arrange payments based on completed work.

Residents like Dru say the area has seen flooding during multiple hurricanes in recent years — and that experience has left them staying prepared.
“It’s definitely high. It’s way higher than it’s been since Milton, in my opinion,” Dru said.
“My house was built in 1974. When I moved on the island in 2018, it had never flooded. I bought flood insurance, although I never anticipated it flooding. But Ian got me and I cannot go through that again. Ever,” Dru said.
