Lake Okeechobee

Lake Karataş, one of the most important wetlands in Turkey's southwest, has dried up due to global warming and the misusage of its water for agricultural purposes.

Lack of rainfall and irresponsible agricultural irrigation has turned the freshwater lake of 1,190 hectares in the southwestern province of Burdur's Karamanlı into a desert.

Miami Beach was left deserted after tourists and residents fled in anticipation of the largest storm to hit the Atlantic in a decade, Hurricane Irma.
A state of emergency has been declared in South Florida, where more than half million people have been ordered to evacuate ahead of the storm.
