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.
Yep, that video was a week ago before people arrived, and the road in and out is toast. I assume that what you see is mostly the folks that build the “city” beforehand.
They partied in it.
They can be sacrificed to Gaia -since appeasement works.
maybe the greenie eco-terrorists who initially roadblocked the entrance and caused a 100 mile traffic backup of attendees might have known something after all ... either that, or the humiliated greenies brought down the wrath of their rain god on the festival with a vengeful, but powerful ritual rain dance ...
Seems it was more about them ....

Burning Man after...
BEFORE they were let in. 7 days ++ ago.
Burning Man, near Waco?
That was the Branch Davidians that the Clinton administration burned to death. Men, women and children burnt to a crisp at the direction of that idiot lesbo Janet Reno US Attorney General.
I don’t think a burningman party would go over very well in Texas.
IF you really want a good laugh—_Find the video from last Sunday when “Civil Disobedience” screwballs blocked the road into BM & caused a 10 MILE plus backup.
Cops were called
ONLY this part of the road area is TRIBAL LAND-—Paiutes-—and they came roaring in & tore up the barriers & arrested the “protesters” AT GUNPOINT.
The Tribal areas have their OWN LAWS & THEIR OWN JURISPRUDENCE.
I hope they convinced those idiots protesting “Capitalism” never come back.
ONE was from MALTA.,
well if it was 73,000 people, I would think you would see more than the 50 or so at around 3:30... just sayin...
The environmentalists tried to warn them.
Soggy Man
Muddy Man
Not so Burning Man
Rain Man
Don’t hit me with these negative vibes so early in the morning Man...
Wow. A few inches of water turns that into something slicker than deer guts on a doorknob!
Saw it in all it’s awesomeness!
Haha. There’s always been a reason, major music, festivals, with the exception of this one, we’re generally required to have multiple sources of potable, water, sanitation, etc.
That was one of the things that sank the attempt at a 50th anniversary of Woodstock, besides The organizers incompetence was trying to put two many people on a site without the necessary infrastructure in a ridiculously short timeframe
I know, how bitchen their new hanger was, etc. I should’ve time stamped it.
One of the funny things about it is the fact that it’s a capitalism is bad event, or at least that’s its primary demographics often times. To do this, anything except ice at the festival, and everyone just buys everything at the local supermarkets on their way in.
All those pot smokers and no food to munch? Oh, the humanity!
