WKMG News 6 ClickOrlando | Astor cleans up from record flooding in Lake County @News6WKMG | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 20 minutes ago.
The combination of heavy rain south of the St. Johns River and strong northerly winds on the backside of Hurricane Milton are sending the river into major flood stage.
As of Thursday afternoon, the St. Johns River at Astor is at major flood stage. The river was expected to crest at 4.5 feet, but now it is expected to crest at 4.7 feet, which would tie the record crest set in 2022 after Hurricane Ian.
