The Burning Man Festival is held in the desert of Black Rock City, Nevada. This year's festival opened with a viral video of climate change activists blocking traffic with law enforcement responding.
Now, the controversy has spun into a chaotic scene the festival organizers are declaring a National Emergency. Can a festival declare a National Emergency? That's beside the point right now.
Heavy rains overnight on Friday have transformed the infamously dusty desert site into a muddy mess, trapping over 70,000 attendees. The festival-goers are being instructed to shelter in place and to conserve food and water resources since getting supplies in is not possible as no entry nor exit has been permitted since Friday night. No travelers will be permitted to enter for the remainder of the event, per organizers on Saturday. The pop-up airport known as Black Rock City Municipal Airport has been closed, and only emergency vehicles are allowed to drive.
They can call it the BM version.
A touch of typhus is no problem./s
The ‘69 Woodstock was rainy and muddy.
That description barely covers it.
What you are describing can only happen there now by helicopter.
It won’t dry out quickly. This isn’t sand-—IT is PLAYA—
“dry lakes” material.
Pure pagan debauchery. Drugs, nudity, promiscuous sex, homosexuality. Prove us wrong. Tell us the redeeming thing that would attract a conservative.
Problem is, most of those have their minds as closed as a steel drum.
Just enjoy the silence.
Oh I know. It dried out a week before the event opened after the remnants of the hurricane 2 weeks ago flooded the site. It took a week to dry out and become drivable again and the event set up began again. The article said the comedian Chris Rock and a few others hicked their way out on foot to the highway about 5 miles away and were picked up. It will take helos to move anything in and out for a week. It will rain again tonight and tomorrow.
It's Babylon.

It attracts salacious headlines for its appearance of iconoclastic self-indulgence – a haven for hedonists, narcissists, exhibitionists and voyeurs.
You can treat it as an eight-day ecstasy-fuelled rave, spinning to the dance music that reverberates morning, noon and night.
You can spend all week in the orgy dome – a 24-hours-a-day “sex-positive consensual space where all can love and be loved”.

SEND IN ‘BRANDN’!!!
That's pretty much every concert there.
Nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure. ;)

80% rain and thunder late tonight and tomorrow. Wonder who has the towing contract. How many busses will it take to transport the burners back to Reno? DOH!
I’d be more worried about typhus and cholera. Diseases of poor sanitation. They can’t service the porta-potties. The place is a literal s**thole.
How could this happen? A small city with no actual infrastructure and no residents with skills other than getting naked and making pithy philosophical pronouncements?
>> I don’t understand the conservative revulsion against the Burning Man festival.
I do understand the progressive sexually immoral doper climatista ATTRACTION to Burning Dope Festival. Maybe that’s why I have a visceral disgust for it.
Then too, I live in the country and practice self-reliance, self-responsibility, and civic participation EVERY DAMN DAY.
Burning when I pee, man.
