Burning man 🔥 )’( 🔥 more like raining man 🌧️ )’( 🌧️
This year would have been my tenth year anniversary of attending burning man. But I passed on the opportunity. So glad I did!! There are 70,000 people stranded on the playa right now because of major flooding. And more rain is in the forecast. It has been declared a state of emergency. They’re telling people to shelter in place. To conserve food and water because they don’t know when they’ll be able to let people leave. You can’t drive or bike in that. You will literally sink and be caked in mud. Like the car or the shoe in the pictures below. Heard someone died during all the chaos. I know a few people out there stuck. I tried to contact them to see if they’re ok but haven’t heard back. Service out there is very spotty. I really hope the weather clears up asap so people can leave safely. Otherwise I don’t know what they’re supposed to do? Call the national guard or something to try and rescue people. What a crazy mess!!

Reminders me of the Splendour in the Grass festival held at Byron Bay here in Australia which last year was a total washout. Good time for all the burners to have lots of sex and make BMB's (Burning Man Babies) to repopulate the region. 8-)
@zonavar68 it reminds me of a combination of Woodstock 99 and fyre fest. Both were completely nuts!! Raining floods and people stranded with hardly any food or water. A friend of mine heard from one person we know out there and he’s still having a blast but he has an RV and tons of booze. He’ll be fine. I worry about those camped in tents
@DisarrayedNightshade There is no comparison to those two silly failed festivals. We have many things in place, to take care of the details. Contractually, I am not allowed to say much. But I can tell you, the staff has got it figured, and veteran burners are dealing with it and still having a great time. Unlike those two fests mentioned? This organization surprisingly competent The Chris rock story, is however funny
