Burning Man festivalgoers have been told to 'shelter in place' amid massive rainstorms that led to unsafe mud conditions.
Burners, of course, seem to be making the most of it.The Burning Man festival is known for its controlled chaos, but that control seems to have slipped this year as massive rainstorms hit the Nevada desert where it's held, causing some to flee and authorities to tell others to "shelter in place," prompting pandemonium.
The gates are expected to stay closed through Monday, the end of the week-long festival, and the popup airport constructed every year for the event has also been closed for incoming and outgoing flights. "No driving is permitted on playa except for emergency vehicles," event organizers said in a statement sent to attendees and press at 5 AM local time. “If you are in [Black Rock City], please shelter in place and stay safe."
Along with the shelter-in-place warning, organizers have also begun rationing ice sales, and because no vehicles are allowed in or out of the event, the portable toilets have not been able to be emptied, the report notes. Talk about a crappy situation! Wow, this is crazy! Burning Man is on lockdown due to heavy rain and mud. The gate and airport are closed, and no driving is allowed. I hope everyone is safe and has enough supplies.
