Water engulfs a road in Helm Corner, California. The long-dry Tulare Lake, once the largest lake west of the Mississippi before the 1920s, is filling up again after a winter of heavy rain and flooding. Flooding in the region is expected to worsen after record-deep snowpack in the Sierra Nevada starts to melt. (Caroline Brehman/EPA)
