Lake Okeechobee 10 miles Lake Okeechobee 5 miles Lake Okeechobee 5 miles Algal bloom extent on June 12 Source: Satellite image by Landsat By Leanne AbrahamRainy season is just starting, but by late June the lake’s level was roughly two feet higher than the United States Army Corps of Engineers would like. Sunrise over Pahokee and Lake Okeechobee. “Like clockwork.”Similar outbreaks have struck lakes elsewhere, including Lake Champlain, Lake Erie and Lake Tahoe.
