Water engulfs a road in Helm Corner, California, USA, 18 May 2023. The long dry Tulare Lake, once the largest lake west of the Mississippi before the 1920s, is filling up again with water after a winter of heavy rain and flooding. Flooding in the region is only expected to get worse after record-deep snowpack in the Sierra Nevada starts to melt, bringing excess water to the surrounding areas. (Photo by Caroline Brehman/EPA)
