Time change
they stay on Zulu time all year as do the models
in other words everything is moved ahead an hour relative to last week in the USA
here is the water storage area for the everglades , this is the largest of 3 water storage area called WCA-3. It is way above regulation but they can only move so much water south out if it and it is pouring rain today

Here is Lake okeechobee it is at 16.13 feet as of today..it has fallen because they are releasing water east and west (not the natural flow) this causes other issues but they have no choice to take pressure off the dike. They can only move a little water south because of the high water there (and soon none)

they can only move so much out of Lake and after Irma passed they released almost the max the can yet the lake went from 13.6 to 17.2
they lake has only been above 18 ft a few times and the record in 18.5 in 1998
If very heavy rains fall over and north of the lake towards Orlando
I think they have a problem
