Burning Man festival-goers trapped in desert as rain turns site to mud
Tens of thousands of ‘burners’ urged to conserve food and water and shelter in place in Nevada’s Black Rock desert
You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …

The "news" is bullshit. I've got friends there right now and they're fine. A little muddy and wet but nobody is in danger.
I'm so annoyed with our "news" lately (and by lately I mean years). It's so fucking sensational and fear inducing it just makes me sick.
News told me LA was underwater and it was the end of days. Friends there told me some places had some flash flooding and it sucks, but overall it blew over.
NYC had that flooding a couple years back and I was going on a trip there and the news was literally warning people of how bad it was. I got there and it was literally like nothing happened.
Here in Seattle my relatives tell me they STILL hear about CHAZ/CHOP. Like asking if I'm safe. It was 3 YEARS AGO and lasted a few days! I literally walked through that park a couple days ago, but they're terrified of it out here.
I hate the people who claim conspiracy everywhere, but there is a clear profit motive to keep us afraid and clicking refresh on news sites. I'm freaking tired of it.
One person died already.
As a consequence of the rain?
I don't know the information about it has been slim. Could have been anything.
I heard that was an unrelated accidental electrocution
Yes, but was he in danger?
Well, he isn't now.
