Thousands stranded at Burning Man festival after heavy rain 

Several hundred were seen following a man in muddy robes banging on a tamberine and wandering off into the desert

Thumbs up

Good

Wow great good 👍 💯

Good

its a deanm dessert not much happening there.

It's the dried lake bed of the ancient lake Lahontan actually @@lcfflc3887

​@@lcfflc3887the desert is the most challenging survival environment and these pagans don't seem to resilient or knowledgeable BTW I've been a self defense and survival instructor for almost 2 decades and would never have recommended anyone go to this event it is a death trap

​@@lcfflc3887the worst place to try to shelter around in a desert is a dry lake or river bed for obvious reasons

“GO” prepared…

But wait, that's just the average modern day American. LOL

The charity cause at the next Drowning Man is of course Umbrellas for America

Banks and big companies do it all the time.

But, but, that's the socialist way!

With ya on that one.

Ditto.

Ugh…same…

it annoyed me at age 8, when I first read about this debauchery in Rolling Stone magazine - before they went absolutely insane. 😂

I agree 🤣

many will Im sure... its NOT easy when its hot either, most came prepared. Some are probably enjoying themselves immensely because its not as hot and windy as usual.

I think unlike there the entertainment have wilted away and there will be no mud flailing to vintage Orbital this year.

Where an island, and a warrior nation, now where did my wellies go, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿...

cannot send food to these Americans, but we can send entire army fleets to save Israel

@@wildthoughts6959 Saving Israel you say? I hope you are being sarcastic

They think a mothershlp will land at burningman to harvest their cuIt's DNA.

It's like they're commandeerlng aIiens to destroy humanity.

@@islampeace... No, just stupid.

that's me who needs a trust fund in my name!

"Now yous can't leave" Lol

I found that interesting also. The climate protesters tried but climate itself stopped them. I mean, it was going to happen eventually.

Karma.

Maybe they should have listened to those climate protestors. Burning Man is commercialized nonsense now.

​@@kennybachman35for what....

Shat up

Trump kinda messed up the national weather service. He had a lot of them laid off because his pet Hurricane wouldn't follow the path his sharpie predicted. So he had a lot of people laid off. The radars are now often down.

I said the same thing about Florida....

👍

@@gizzad ~ Burning Man is a hipsters paradise of pro-dystopia.. It shows in the excess material lifestyle coupled with a lack of preparedness..

Not a bright bunch.

Yeah because it floods so often. Keep living in your safety bubble

@@russmt4181 The ability to score some shooms and party at the social event of the season...outweighs intelligence.

I might have been a lake bed at one time.

Happens every year too. Go figure!

I love it. Lol. Isn’t it called natural selection?

Daddy send a helicopter !🚁

Totally,👍😃🇳🇴

😂😂😂😂

She always has the last laugh! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a cruel joke.

it is a lake bed.

probably the sea floor.

Literally a dried lake bed. 🤣

And the place where Burning Man creators and organizers decided is was a genius idea to brings thousands of people to live there for a week, all the while knowing after several decades that it is not adaptable to water conditions for those people. Instead money and profit always their main focus.

It's all dry lake bed clay. Not even AWD vehicles can drive through. Trench foot might become a big problem.

😂 too funny

thats actually not true... people that attend these are pretty hardy, not the smartest, but many have been homeless and will survive this better than the average American.

They're waiting on their Mommies to come help them 😆

Radical,self reliance. Radical inclusion. Everyone brings the supplies needed. Everyone shares. They are more prepared than the rest of us relying on modern convenience. Godspeed Larry Harvey 💚💚💚

They are the lost 🐑 looking for a 🔥

It’s incredible the lack of knowledge on display in these comments. LOTS of very strong opinions not based on any facts whatsoever. Just like yours. Not one person there is gojgn hungry or thirsty. They have all the provisions they need. That’s not the problem. The problem is they are physically stuck. That’s it.

Until they get those mud caked RV's back. Dry lake bed mud turns to cement when it dries.

😅🤣😂

It's clay. Big difference than just mud. That stuff is slick and sticky at the same time. @@TheBandit7613

​@@TheBandit7613Even more $$$ for the rental company for cleanup and time out of service charges.

It's time for a snow job it what the kernel would say

I think the tribal police should take those protestors out there in that mud and let them chain themselves up there.

kennybachman35 Those Rainbow protestors they should have brought a rainbow. 👍

Nah

Did you hear how these Cavemen talked to the Protesters? F this F that, on and on.

Yeah

Exactly, no vegetation, just nothing but dirt around.

was it Black Rock Desert before? Or did BLACKROCK buy it?

Blackrock corp wanting to take Maui and turn it into a resort but locals wouldn’t sell their land and their heritage….then OOPS, it all suddenly mysteriously burns down. Now you have 70+ thousand people trapped on “blackrock” property being told they can’t move until given the say so by local govt as food/water runs out and disease spreads, what could possibly go wrong?

Did you send this comment from your comfortable air conditioned man built near a convenience store space??? Don’t judge what you haven’t experienced dude. These people brought in all supplies. These people share and respect life. Radical self reliance. Radical inclusion. Godspeed Larry Harvey 💚💚💚

Oh wait, the man is burning so it’s ok 😂

Right?!

“Burning Plans” haha

Yes, and unfortunately there are many of them that are so stoned they wouldn’t even be aware of it if they did die. Good luck people.

@@michaelnewell6385 What is the point in that statement? I use cannabis to treat the severe PTSD I got from serving your lies in Iraq. Before switching to cannabis I was a suicidal alcoholic and almost joined the statistic of 20 veteran suicides per day, but I survived with a traumatic brain injury, further complicating my PTSD. Thank you so much for making firearms so easily accessible to mentally ill people like me, while fear mongering about the cannabis that saved me. You are not fucking welcome for my service. Next 9/11, serve your own bullshit.

@@michaelnewell6385Ironic as hell to hear a person in Las Vegas talking shit about "drugs". Las Vegas ranks #5 in the country for cocaine use and #6 for Methamphetamine use. To break it down further, according to the American Addiction Centers as of May 2023, 62% of Las Vegas uses cannabis, 22% uses cocaine, 3% uses heroin, and 14% uses meth.

what's the cup for?

@@talamook number 1 🚻

Lol

that statement tells me ALL ABOUT YOU- ID stay FAR FAR AWAY FROM YOU, WOW!!!! just when i thought no human could shock me, here pops up ANOTHER IMBECILE

You're sad

Yikes what happened to you?

@@gizzad You're evil.

Its not a great flood. Its just a little rain 🌧. Its muddy because the playa bed or lake bed where they're at is a desert not its wet its mudding driving it it isn't a good idea and u may get even more stuck so its best to sit and wait it out. They calling it a flood like they are in 2 foot deep wata out dere. Y'all so over dramatic

Pretty sure the protestors are a work of satan

If God is real than why did he make you so stupid and gullible? Goes to show he probably doesn’t like you very much

God doesn't exist.

​@@Stable_Genius Keep believing that lie

It is sort of amazing, like a pretty strong message about global warming.

Trump messed up the National Weather Service after Sharpiegate remember? Radars are often down, or the newer "high definition" radar is inferior compared to the earlier NEXRAD.

They knew before they arrived just tickets were bought in advance

Literally an ap on most peoples phone that is free that gives 1-30 days out of weather. The intelligence level of these people is mind boggling.

@@MH_6160yes, oh brilliant one. Show us your intelligence. You’re so much smarter than 70,000 people who build an entire functioning city in the desert for a week.

@@kilgoretrout4461Lol, you’re not helping your argument, that just shows 70k ppl ignored previous weather forecasts and threw caution to the wind 🤦🏼‍♂️🙄

No. Left in 1995,@@karlwithak.

Who's going to bring supplies? The local supply dept? There is NO ONE out there.

Exactly

Typical oblivious parent. Bring my kid supplies 😂

First time being responsible mom?

It's hard if not impossible to feel sorry for these rich assholes.

In a lake and sleep in water and run out of food.

​@@tnijoo5109your not going to starve in a week you idi 😂😂

@@tnijoo5109yep. Nature is unpredictable. That is literally why they’re out there😂😂.

@@Jujubean9795 yeah. It will be interesting to see what happens. I’m an over-planner so it’s harder to imagine going camping and not paying attention to the forecast. I know it’s probably worse than anyone could have predicted, but still!!

@@tnijoo5109you ALWAYS bring more food and water than you think you’ll need. You don’t? It’s on you.

😂😂😂

My boyfriend did. He wanted to go, but the weather looked bad. I went 20 years ago. It was much more pure back then

Do you think some rain is really gonna stop nomad drug addicts?

Drug addicts don’t care about the weather

You cannot base anything on a weatherman. When I first got in my trade I use to look at the 3 day. Until one day it rained when it said we had 0% chance.

It is crazy irony.

LOL…Imagine going through all that to be stuck in the mud with a different kind of road closure…All those people in the traffic line were going to Burning Man…There 4 wheel drive trucks will come in handy now. They will need them to get out….LOL

The police who smashed the protest were tribal cops who did it for safety reasons. Everyone there knows there's a risk of dying, the whole experience is a survival fight against nature. Those that get through this one will have some stories.

@@TheAajsanchez They didn't do it for safety reasons. They were fat white cops who smacked that woman's head into the pavement. I hope she sues the living hell out of them.

@@TheAajsanchez My guy it is 4 miles to the nearest road. there's nothing to do about survival. This isn't the Australian Outback. Pyramid lake is just to the South.

Burning Man is now Moist Man

@@robw7205 AQUA MAN

They warm the cockles of your heart.

Yes it like those stories with happy endings where the criminal gets shot and reaches ambient temperature.

😂😂😂

yah whatever 'burning man' is...this has got to be a joke.

😅😅😅

Haha you have no clue.

​@@samanthamcnallywatercolorshippies are dirty. There's no debating that

It’s all just rich people that go there now

What 🤦😂 What on God's earth are you talking about? Wait a minute. What are you smoking is the better question. Wait a minute? Are you at the burning Man concert? 😂🤦 gosh

An EARLY AUTUMN

They're supposed to be independent and self-reliant, didn't last long when put to the test

They are evil, have u ever seen what they believe?

I know, right? Geeez, we are in deep trouble as a nation.

Exactly !!!!!

Their $1,000 kicks, just ruined....sad

The rich burners will get sick of the freaky moochers quick. Being trapped at a soggy rave with no music like Glastonburry mud fun would be like the trenches of ww1 minus moonshine and smokes.

You have think about the high country desert how you got your money worths Reno joe

I hope the acid survives

Oh don't worry. They have a Double Rainbow!.... I'm sure all the Queer$ see it as validation. LoL....

But did you want to pay hundreds of dollars for it? Yep it's all wack.

Aaaaaaah the fresh air.

@@williamking6531 haha

Hahaaaa

It’s going to rain again and flood. People could seriously die. They seem to be very calm lol.

I know!!! It’s all just too precious. “My BOOTS got *muddy!”* 🙄

@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin my youngest son was soooo hard to potty train so I taught him to pee outside on trees lol. He thought it was fun and we didn't need diapers anymore

My guy, there are hikes in parks that are longer. Your "destitute" location is only 4 miles into the desert and not far from hot spring baths.

But 4 miles is all it took to get them stuck,eh? lol @@curiousnomadic

destitute does not mean what you think it means

​@@bmolitor615dont tell them 😅

@@brotherlittlefoot2216 omg stupid chimes in. The rain on mud stuck them, not the miles. They are walking out the miles.

Wow , so no one got empty Gatorade bottles and 1 gallon water jugs …? ?

​​@@Nikowalker007you mean piss bottles and piss jugs? How can one be on the road and not have a basic piss jug. Laws of the road

​@@Nikowalker007it's piss it all soaks up in the ground

@@Dontcare_at_all “Soaks up in the ground” This place is flooded and looks like Woodstock 69 right now ... Imagine 75 000 people doing it for days 😄

I'm gonna go to my air conditioned bathroom, with the squeaky clean toilet, and the flower scented toilet paper; put some light classical music on the home speaker system, and have myself a nice long leisurely sit.

God doesn't control the weather...read a book.

Maybe they'll celebrate the rain and the double rainbow instead of the "burning man" this year.

@@Big_Dip1I did, called the Bible

@@finnkedinn1573 cool, a fairy tale book

@@Big_Dip1Really? Try READING THE BIBLE! Jesus spoke to the storm & said Peace be still & the wind & the waves immediately STOPPED! God it the Creator of all things & He is ALL POWERFUL! There is NOTHING GOD CANNOT DO!!!

Exactly!

💯

Yes, but the stink was still the same.

@@crispinjulius5032 Were you there? I was, Woodstock didn't start smelling until Sunday. Besides we had GREAT music!!! What does Burning Man offer? 💩

I didn't catch that, at first. Wtf? 🤣

Good one dude

Rain can’t stop that kind of burn!!!

well, gonna have a hard time gettin it lit THIS year.. @@smokefromdc8737

Yeah wtf there's a burning man and all we hear about are a bunch of dirty hippies

👍👌

Good luck with that. I've got two daughters in their early 20s that can't remember to pack socks when they go on vacation.

These idiots couldn't start a campfire with a lighter and a can of lighter fluid.

GOD ALMIGHTY is WATCHING YOU!!!

Right. Now they’re shocked that no one is coming to deliver food and water😂😂 so much fur self-reliance.

@@Jujubean9795 Yep. Let Oprah help them. She can begin a fund raiser and get corporate donors and in 6 months a working plan.

who expected serious rain in the desert in early September?

🗣Repent Israelites all praise to the most high YAHAWAH AND HIS SON YAHAWASHI🤴🏽🦁🛸👑 The so called black man, Latino, and Native Americans are the Israelites. Yahawah chosen people. That are scattered in all nations through our fathers. Making them Israelite foreigners/Scattered sheep/The multitude. Yahawashi speaking: Matthew 15:24 “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth Deuteronomy 32:39 “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand Galatians 6:7 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:8 “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

I guess they know by now!

Absolutely 💯

Imagine how stringy vegan meat must be?😂😂😂😂😂

They're all gonna die if the authorities get their way and not let them know it is only 4 miles out.

No

Yes!! Absolute genius.

So people sitting down in the middle of the road blocking people from going to work and about there business is good to you. I want tomorrow when your on ur way to work or a medical emergency you get stuck in traffic because protesters are blocking the road because they want to get there point across. And see how you would feel stuck in traffic. As for the rain, it's just a little rain 🌧 they aren't dying out there sure maybe low on food or water but these people got each other's back better than some people on here wishing them a cruel demise.

@@fatpusy1822 in this case they were protesting in the middle of the desert NOT around places of work or hospitals so GO FOR IT!

@@fatpusy1822IF it gets really bad those people will turn on each other in a really vicious way. They’re entitled yuppies. Don’t expect them to care about anyone but themselves

🤣 hilarious

As an outsider - I thought the army would come in & lay down temporary tracks to at least get bus & cars out. Next minute your going to have a lot of sick people. Regards.

Quite right

"Festival of ignorance", is that what you call your brain?

Ahhhhh. America.

The same way he washed away the whole planet and killed everyone?

I would replace the word Ignorance with...Evil!

Lol you just have hate on hippies. Meanwhile there are wars.

Right

Don't want the locals speaking

Wow! That is really ironic. I guess it will really be put to the test. Maybe it will end up being the most beautiful thing. I hope so. And I hope everyone is okay. But the idea that they have to walk around in that mud with people peeing in it now is so disturbing.

One word; HIPPIE-CRITS.

@@tnijoo5109choices one makes. We’re not dealing with 12 years here. They are adults and, well they made a choice to support something perverted and dark 🤷‍♀️

@@tnijoo5109 BM was one of the first festivals to stress that you leave no trace.

@@tnijoo5109 Ever watch those old war movies and they are fighting in the "mud." That's not all mud if you know what I mean.

Here we go again

​@@zza9215what happened last time

There are other planets retrograde too This looks like uranus and Mercury's work 😂

And Venus retrograde? Only days after a Pisces full moon conjunct Saturn? 😢 maybe don’t leave the house.

Interesting how people use the things God made to try and explain things He does but don’t credit Him. Must have a lot to do with holding on to that old lie from way back in the garden…ye shall be as gods…

Where did they mock God though, please share

So you’re admitting you’re committing a sin? Wow

I would too, but, if it’s their Religion Faith, My Religion doesn’t allow me to; so, will control.

@@nopeteys2424 yes aren't I suppose to admit it? Confess it? Repent of it? I won't laugh next time

Human nature feel free to do so I am right now hahaha by the way I'm Apostolic Pentecostal :-)

PRAISE YAH indeed sister!! Me too... I do hope ALL gets out safe and sound, however, I also hope this is the end of this festival FULL of snakes and SELF.

Shrooms are overrated.

They’re probably making mud angels

@@meganann3876 I've always loved that Pearl jam line "making angels in the dirt"

@wehrmachtguy6160 - What I find amusing about this is the basis of the event itself and it's purported origins intent..."community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance"..."principles are radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, leaving no trace, participation, and immediacy." And now...what are the odds? Any "self-reliant" person remotely familiar with the desert would have packed up and left the moment rain was in the forecast. But as with most things like this the festival became a social extravaganza production...which is great fun until reality comes a calling.

@@BWolf00 They heard the report, but the MDMA had just kicked in, and everything was beautiful and felt right with the universe, and besides, they were too high to drive.

@@milascave2 I started to say something to that effect as well...'shrooms, man where's my shrooms'

yea and the organizers got sued

Won't wash the acrid stench off the hippies.

they don't know how to use it their Smart phones took that ability from them.

Why does the radio only work well in the morning?

Soon to be outlawed by the federal government

FM radio should work as well.

People are not that bright anymore.

it's the black rock desert, chill out wonder g

@@nortavon You don't understand irony, do you? 🤣

Rich hippies ? Lol

They are hardly hippies. There's hundreds of luxury motorhomes out there.

90 minutes? How slow do these people walk?

I wondered about that too, but it sounds like the mud is so sticky that walking in it is really hard. Idk.

@@mediocreman2 Muddy will slow you down so I gave it a liberal estimate.

Walking through the mud is not so hard.... it is impossible

How many mushrooms did they eat?

Now they'll damage it.

or in reality geoengineering

Muddy hybrid.😂
