- The St. Johns River, which has already exceeded flood stage where it passes through DeLand, is predicted to rise more than five inches in the next few days, according to the National Weather Service.
None of these news reports tell us WHY the St Johns River continues to rise! How? There hasn't been rain in Florida since the storm!
The St. Johns River is the longest river in Florida, flowing 310 miles north from its headwaters at Blue Cypress Lake in Indian River County to its mouth where it empties in to the Atlantic Ocean east of Jacksonville. Contrary to what some might think, the fact that our river flows north is not very unusual. Water flows in the path of least resistance - there are rivers and tributaries all over the world that flow east, west, north, and south. The St. Johns flows north because its headwaters are a mere 27 feet higher in elevation than where it ends - dropping approximately one inch per mile over the course of 310 miles. This slow drop in elevation makes it one of the “laziest” rivers in the world. Nearly 16% of the state, the St. Johns River watershed covers an area of nearly 9,000 square miles and is home to over five million people. The Timucua Native Americans named the river we know as the St. Johns, Welaka, or river of lakes, because there are so many lakes (nearly 3,500!) found in the watershed.
@@tkendr01 very insightful info. Thanks
@@tkendr01 Great info that you copy and pasted from St Johns River Water Authority, but it didn't exactly answer my question.
Overland flooding can be just as scary as a tide surge. This happens quite often on the Dakotas.
@@tkendr01 Still not addressing the issue here. Not one authority is bothering to protect these homes. I guess thats what no state tax gets ya.

It's hard working people like this that I believe should get all the help from the gov. The pro teams in Florida should pony up and rebuild....they have working relationships with the state and profit heavy....let's stop talking about social change and put your money we're your mouth is....
