Resurfaced California lake causes chaos.

Months of heavy rain have caused flooding in California's Tulare Basin, refilling what was once a sprawling lake and pitting neighboring property owners against each other. The flooding has damaged hundreds of structures and disrupted growers in a region that produces a significant proportion of the nation's supply of almonds, pistachios, milk, and fruit. A historic snowpack looms in the mountains above the basin, which, as it melts, is likely to put downstream communities through months of torment. The flooding showcases the weather whiplash typical of California, which vacillates between too wet and too dry, and the influence of climate change can make the state's extremes more intense.
