The drought just ended last month, and already, fresh water is being emptied to sea.

Fresh out of a severe drought that threatened a water crisis, the Army Corps of Engineers has begun draining the now-rising Lake Okeechobee, backup water supply for millions of South Floridians.

I have the book about the 1928 hurricane in my 'reading room'.

Would the current levee system hold back a storm induced slosh on the lake from a major hurricane?

if the levees breached in a big way, besides the flooding in places like Belle Glade, what level would the lake fall to?
