It may be hard to get info from Okeechobee because of the widespread storm damage and because it is a small community that does not get much attention. The Community is not the kind of People to complain, they are Big Sugar Cane workers, Ranchers and Fisherman.
Here is a list of Okeechobee radio frequencies in use:

I'd guess anyone along the east coast from Melbourne south to West Palm Beach sould be able to pick up simplex traffic, maybe Ft. Myers too.
The Fire Rescue/Law Enforcement agencies may use repeaters that survived on generator power and may be audible at longer distances.
