GLADES COUNTY, Fla. - Our WINK News crew takes to the skies to show you flooding across Southwest Florida.

Flooding is still a major problem off State Road 29 North of LaBelle in Glades County.

We also saw a lot of flooding off State Road 27 in Glades County.

The flooding is mainly on people's properties and not on the roadway, there.

Water levels on Lake Okeechobee near Moore Haven in Glades County are at a little more than 12-feet but that's still two feet below the average for this time of year.

The Lake is slowly being filled with water thanks to Tropical Storm Fay.
