Nevada flooding forces Burning Man attendees to shelter in place

Thousands of Burning Man attendees trudged in sloppy mud on Saturday — many barefoot or wearing plastic bags on their feet — as flooding from storms swept through the Nevada desert, forcing organizers to close vehicular access to the counterculture festival. Revelers were urged to shelter in place and conserve food, water and other supplies.

And the best part of the whole story?
"leaving portable toilets unable to be serviced"

Think about it. They've got over 70,000 people trapped in this muddy lake bed and the outhouses are full and overflowing.....

  6. They can save water by not bathing, but they don't bathe anyway.
    We'll see how they save the planet by pooping all over and not cleaning it up.
    Sorry folks. No Burning Man 2024 because last year they saved the earth so much its now a biohazard super fund site.

  8. I seen a video earlier this morning where a fence has been put up and that a person was hemorrhaging coagulated blood. Medics were sent in with heavy bio suits. Can’t confirm anything, but I’ve walked in mud tracking deer for miles. Mud isn’t going to stop me from getting out.

    1. No, but the fact that the nearest tiny 'town' is 15 miles away with the nearest decent sized town over 70 miles away might stop you.
      And if you've never seen how thick that alkaline dust mud gets, you're in for a nasty surprise. That shit's so thick it'll pull the boots off your feet with every step.

    2. I’ll defer to you on that geographical area, red wet clay is hard enough, and a fifteen mile hike without provisions for water is a game changer.

    3. I'm not real familiar with it, but I've been in the area long before Burning Man ever started and the dust is so thick that just walking in it causes it to work its way into all of your clothing.

    4. Clothing? Most of them are nearly naked which is a mixed blessing.

  11. I guess now the tribal police will be blamed since they had removed the road blocking protesters.

  12. One small well timed nuclear device dropped over the Burning Man twits would do wonders for the intelligence level of the American gene pool.

    2. Not even a drop in a bucket. What was it 84 million biden voters ?70 k is nothing we are still over run with morons even if everyone at burning man snuffs it.

    3. Part of the playa was used for bomb testing in WWII so, why not one more time for nostalgia sake.

    4. It was 81 million votes.

      Only 2 million voters and a bunch of fraud.

  14. Well...they knew they have a "Leave No Trace" policy before they went in. Good luck with that happening.

  16. Wouldn’t go there even if the weather was good.

  17. Assholes them all. I understand they trash the place and every year leave a shit load of bicycles behind. Probably most of them are climate change morons who want a greener plant.

  18. What an awful scene. They should seal off the exits, surround it with tarp, and prevent drones from flying over. Then sell the whole thing to Blackrock for Pennies.
    You know, standard disaster response.

  19. Apparently the soil is so alkaline that prolonged contact produces chemical burns, lending a whole new meaning to the event name.

  20. As Cartman says: Fucking Hippies! Full Episode instead of Burning Man live: https://youtu.be/sFl3harYTzU

  21. I read that since wheeled vehicles can't get in or out, porta-potties aren't being serviced.
    So, yeah, e-coli in the rain seems likely.
    Stupid fucking hippies; out in the middle of the desert with no backup plan.
