TL;DR Summary

Satellite images taken over the past six weeks show the re-emergence of Tulare Lake in California's San Joaquin Valley, highlighting the scale of flooding in one of the world's most productive regions for crops like almonds, tomatoes, and pistachios. More than 1,200 structures in Tulare County have been damaged by flooding so far, and more flooding is likely as winter storms have blanketed mountains in the nearby Sierra Nevada with a layer of snow roughly three times what's typical. The lake could grow more as peak flows on the largest rivers that feed the Tulare Basin are projected to arrive in May or June.
