Victor Lebron said the river is \u201csuper high\u201d after boating along the St. Johns River on Wednesday. He said further north the water is getting closer to properties around the water.<\/p>\n
A lot of water close to the property,\u201d Lebron said. \u201cSo I bet they\u2019re nervous about all the water coming up. So I hope it doesn\u2019t keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seminole County said it closed Black Bear Wilderness Area, Cameron Wight Park, Mullet Lake Park and Econ Canoe Launch due to recent flooding from heavy rainfalls and high water levels on the St. Johns River.<\/p>\n
The county is also starting sandbag operations to prepare for possible flooding. It\u2019s offering 3,000 pre-filled sandbags to residents on a first-come, first-served basis. People can also fill their own bags at the Old Geneva Volunteer Fire Station, Boombah Sports Complex Overflow Lot and Central Winds Park<\/p>\n
