Wildflowers spread over hills as wind turbines create electricity on April 16, 2023 near Cameron, California. Spectacular wildflower blooms, referred to by some as a "superbloom", is occurring across much of California following a historically wet season that drove 31 atmospheric river storms thorough the region, resulting in widespread flooding and record snow depths in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The extreme weather has created a break from years of record drought for most of the state.
