Burning Man attendees late Friday night were told to ‘shelter in place’ after a storm dumped torrential rain on the playa and turned it into a giant soupy mud pit.

Burning Man is a yearly music and art festival in Northern Nevada in Black Rock City.

An estimated 73,000 people are trapped after a monsoonal storm moved through Black Rock City.

Burning Man attendees referred to as ‘Burners’ prayed to the ‘playa gods’ to make it stop.

Burning Man conditions are bordering on disaster with over 70,000 people trapped and sheltering-in-place after rains turned the playa into an undrivable mud pit.

On Friday night (Sep. 1), organizers were forced to shut down the festival’s gate and airport, halting access in and out of the playa. All scheduled burns for Friday night were canceled. As of 8 a.m. on Saturday (Sep. 2), the gate and airport remained closed and festival goers were being told to shelter-in-place. People are not being permitted to drive cars or bikes around the festival except for emergency vehicles. With rain in the forecast through Sunday (Sep. 3), Burners were being told to conserve resources.

“If you are in BRC, conserve food and water, shelter in a warm space,” warned festival organizers according to the Reno Gazette Journal. The news site reported that 73,000 people (a larger population than the city of Santa Cruz) are currently at the festival.

Maybe GloBull warming can fix this.

The Burning Man Festival is high on the list of things that I have never had the slightest urge to go and see.

I think it'll be cool. But not sure if I want to hang out with ANTIFA/BLM guys.

I'll like to hang out with Brazilians, Texans, Aussies, South Africans, grill some BBQ and have some whiskey and/or tequila.

I assume the rich b@$@€# that attend can afford a couple of helos with emergency supplies to be flown in and help the poorer attendees. Isn’t what they believe in piece, love and sharing?

I suppose some government agency will have to spend a ton of money to fly in food, fuel, water, and medical personal to save their sorry leftist, pagan, LGBTQ+, druggie, pothead asses.

How's that working out for you, comrades?

Exactly. They should have the conservative version of the Burning Man somewhere in Texas. Maybe near Waco? No weirdos allowed. Californians are banned.

One of the best things about corona, was that this idiocy was cancelled.

BM is a gathering of dope smoking nude hippies. Now they are bathed in mud.

Brutal. The attendees are smart enough to deal with a washout. Many Catholics in attendance with prayers to the Lord. It is a weird place with fabulous art and resilient people. The administrators in San Francisco are top notch. Rough year for Burn. M.

There’s no way out of here
When you come in
You’re in for good
There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took
