Burning Man is being torn apart by sand storms just one day into the iconic festival, with 50mph winds tearing up tents and trashing art.
Thousands of attendees have been weathering apocalyptic scenes, with some wearing ski goggles and surgical masks to brace against the storm.
The National Weather Service (NWS) warned that a 'wall of blowing dust' from Smoke Creek and Black Rock Desert would move over the site on Saturday and Sunday.
Campsites which were erected on the eve of the celebration were damaged by the dust storm as it tore through the Nevada desert before the festival even began.
The NWS advised attendees - known as 'Burners' - not to travel to the area, and to expect sudden reductions in visibility if they were there already.
Dramatic videos posted online showed festival-goers being battered by fierce winds as their belongings were coated in a thick film of dust.
Several structures could be seen already destroyed, with some gazebos being reduced to metal tent frames after fierce winds stripped away the tarp.
One man posted a selfie showing his face covered in dust, and images circulated of men wearing cargo pants huddled in a van while waiting for the storm to pass.

Woodstocker wannabes. Woodpeckers.
And mud. Forecast is thunderstorms through Wednesday. We will be smelling massive amounts of patchouli(?) oil for weeks after. Possible the temp air strip may be too wet. Stick it to “the man” at min $500/tkt. Yeah, okay. Not!
>> Fire, Flood, Windstorm, Next year.............EARTHQUAKE!............
“Look up there! Hundreds of Mexicans parasailing in! And they have assault rifles!”
Choking man.
>> I’m not sure where it says God will not be mocked but I think it’s in there somewhere as well.
7Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. 8The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Galatians 6. Verse 8 is good context re: “Burning Man”!
Hahahahahahahaha!
And they’d better listen up and listen good.
That’s right.
I would like to have seen it in my younger years
Man early 70s rock festivals were crazy

Craziest three days of my life pretty much
Well, some good news.
Remember when Superbowl tickets were $12??
Ha Ha!
did the organizers have to go on the PA warning about bad moonshine being passed around?
They picked the wrong time of the year to have that get together. It is right in the middle of the desert Monsoon season. 80 mph winds and flash floods twice a week.

In the early days people brought guns and shot
Sounds like a great show.
