Flooding at Burning Man Festival

Heavy rainstorms in the Nevada desert caused flooding at the Burning Man Festival, resulting in one death and 70,000 people stranded. The entire area was covered in ankle-deep mud, making it impassable and forcing all entrances into the event to close. Some attendees, including Chris Rock and Diplo, hiked to higher ground. Organizers assured that the venue was prepared for such weather events.
