South Florida Water Management District officials are busy after a weekend of storms

In Delray Beach, cars were stopped, with some stuck in flood waters.

Up the road in Vero Beach, business owners were wringing themselves dry.

If you thought we've had a lot of rain this October, you thought right.

"I think, district-wide, we may be looking at one of the top five wettest Octobers," said Randy Smith, a spokesperson for the South Florida Water Management District.

Water levels at Lake Okeechobee continue to rise.

"That's a very good thing," said Smith. "Water back-up source [is] very low, so it's encouraging."

This is a much different story from last October, one of the driest - if not the driest - on record, which made for challenges.

"What you see are stricter restrictions and that's uncomfortable for people," said Smith.

Water Management officials say we're in good shape and have rebounded from a huge deficit, but there are concerns moving forward.

They say the bottom line now is to welcome the H2O and conserve it when we can.
