ST. CLOUD, Fla. — Osceola County leaders ask residents to remain on high alert as Lake Toho continues to rise, which could impact some Osceola County neighborhoods.

Lake Toho is expected to peak beginning Friday, October 7, at 57.2 feet, meanwhile, neighboring lake, East Lake Toho water levels also continue to rise.

East Lake Toho is expected to crest to about 61 feet in the coming days.

The rising levels remain a huge concern for Felicia Black, a St. Cloud resident who lives in the Blackberry Circle neighborhood.

Her neighborhood flooded during Hurricane Ian.

“In the family room where my big screen tv is on the back of the wall I had to pull my rug, my oriental rug, everything got soaking wet, and I’m pulling all my furniture and stuff,” Black said.

She said the floodwater destroyed about $50,000 worth of her personal property.

Black said she was not sure whether she would receive any reimbursement because she does not have property insurance.

She said because she wasn’t sure she would renew her lease, she didn’t purchase it.

“If everything in my house gets damaged, I’m not going to have no place to live and I already paid a month’s rent and I’m not going to be able to stay here,” Black said. “I just pray this thing won’t be as bad as what people make it sound like.”

A St. Cloud spokesperson tells us that based on the latest projections they don’t expect any more flooding.

But - Osceola County and city of Kissimmee officials want residents near Lake Toho to remain cautious. There are two shelters open at Osceola Heritage Park that combined can shelter 150 people.
