A ghost lake that vanished decades ago in 's central valley has come back to life with a vengeance after torrents of rain resuscitated the body of water and drowned thousands of acres of farmland.Tulure Lake, located in the Central Valley of California, was once the largest freshwater lake west of the River - but rivers that fed into the system that were dammed in order to be diverted for irrigation and other uses by the 1920s - left the area dry.In decades since, communities and farms growing vegetables, cotton and grazing cattle began to occupy the dry lakebed – one such community is Corcoran in Kings County.
