Expecting fire, what they got was rain and mud. When 70,000 or so revelers attending Burning Man this year packed their gear, they probably tossed in all the wrong stuff. Snow shoes would have been a better choice than sun block. They learned real fast it isn’t easy to get around with the equivalent of a cinder block mucked around each foot. Access is closed and everyone has been ordered to “shelter in place.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

More mud than expected<\/h2>\n

There was a whole lot more mud than they expected at the annual Burning Man Festival. Nevada State and Tribal authorities urge everyone to “conserve food, water and fuel<\/em>” until things dry out enough to get them evacuated.<\/p>\n

Organizers picked a dry lake bed in the Black Rock Desert, never expecting a flood. The area picked up most of a year’s worth of rain this particular Labor Day weekend, all at once.<\/p>\n

Heavy rains, CNN reports<\/a>, “inundated the area and created thick, ankle-deep mud which sticks to campers’ shoes and vehicle tires.<\/em>”<\/p>\n
