Burning Man revelers have been forced to walk around the swamped playa barefoot and survive on tins of tuna after a washout saturated the dry ground.
Torrential rains overwhelmed the Nevada desert, turning the dust into clay - meaning that 73,000 revelers are trapped until the landscape dries up. One person died in the ordeal, it was reported on Saturday.
Festivalgoers dealing with the treacherous conditions in Black Rock City have also ditched their shoes that keep getting stuck in the mud - while they desperately conserve their food and water supplies.
The portable toilets on the festival site also aren't being cleaned or emptied because service trucks cannot reach them - creating 'foul' conditions in the playa.
Campers have had their tents and structures breached due to the pouring rain, leaving many people tired, wet, and muddy.
But it's not all doom and gloom. The hedonistic crowds are making the most of the situation by organizing slip-and-slides and enjoying the characteristically psychedelic atmosphere during the extended festivities.

I'll have extra bacon on my hamburger please.
Well, OK then.
That ‘self-reliance’ part of their credo doesn’t seem to be panning out.
Biden comments right way on helping those at burning man. Other places not so much.
That was Saturday. Mushroom bacon Swiss burgers.
Last night was the ribs (2-2-1).
Either beats a can of tuna by a long shot.
Looks like 73000 white privileged leftist jackasses.
Burning man is a modern pagan celebration of everything except God in the desert. A very appropriate location.

Thank you I wondered what it was. Looks like God rained on their “celebration”.
“That was Saturday. Mushroom bacon Swiss burgers.”
Oh no! Hold the Mushrooms, can’t stand the things! But always add the bacon, lots and lots of bacon!
To help them out, Biden is sending 10 billion to Ukraine.
I watched the vid at link. The irony of that rainbow…
This is the best and most uplifting news I’ve heard for a long time.
It’s weird how none of these genius bothered to read the weather report before going there. Supposedly they’ve got another storm coming today. Those overflowing Port-A-Pissers must be pretty ripe about now. I find it really weird that none of them thought about bringing their kayaks.
Never any desire to attend. The real question: how many will attend NEXT year. Heh heh.
Just reading about how they are supposed to leave the joint the way they found it and take all their crap out with them. I don’t see that happening this year. LOL. That place is going to be pretty ripe next year. Buzzards everywhere.
Easy to solve. Just create a double line of pallets to make what they used to call a corduroy road.

A reminder that as it was in the days of Noah...
It’s newsworthy today that someone just took matters into hand an hoofed it outta’ there!
