A festival cannot declare itself a national emergency
Theres no need to make a long explanation for an event about nothing, okay.
It's election season.
Joe Biden isnt gonna let 70 thousand liberal weirdos die.
unbridled level of ignorance…you asked a million questions then want to say something when you get an explanation lmao
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.
Some Burners were resorting to prayer, begging “Playa gods, please stop, we want to go home.”
As of 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, the Burning Man webcam was unavailable. Cell phone access is always extremely limited at the event.
As rough as it sounds, conditions could become even worse. AccuWeather is predicting an 84% chance of rain for Black Rock City on Saturday with a 24% chance of thunderstorms. Both rain and thunderstorms are even more likely on Sunday.
Scott McGuire, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Reno office, said on Friday that even a one-hundredth of an inch of rain can cause problems for the festival grounds. As much as 0.33 inches of rain could fall on Sunday alone.
Reno is the closest intl airport to burning man. It about 100miles ne from herrSo do you know what burning man is about or are you clueless like me? From what i gathering in this thread, even the people in here explaining what burning man is dont know what the hell burning man is about. We really acting like its cool for people to pay money to go in the middle of the desert to do something they can do in the comfort of their home. 70,000 people too and more coming in just to say they went to "burning man". Only in america
I guess drinking/drugging/participating in orgies while dancing naked amidst a burning effigy is supposed to be cool if u only do it (openly) once a year?What is the point of "burning man' anyway?
But Chris Rock made it out
You couldn’t pay me to do this, even if it wasn’t flooded.
