Quote:RENO, Nev. (AP) — Authorities in Nevada were investigating a death at the site of the Burning Man festival where thousands of attendees remained stranded Saturday night as flooding from storms swept through the Nevada desert.

Organizers closed vehicular access to the counterculture festival and attendees trudged through mud, many barefoot or wearing plastic bags on their feet. The revelers were urged to shelter in place and conserve food, water and other supplies.
The Pershing County Sheriff’s Office said the death happened during the event but offered few details as the investigation continued, including the identity of the deceased person or the suspected cause of death, KNSD-TV reported.

Quote:"A fan offered Chris rock and I a ride out of burning man in the back of a pick up," Diplo wrote on Instagram in a video showing him, Rock, and a group of people packed together with luggage as they zoomed past the desert landscape. "After walking 6 miles through the mud… all Chris could think about was a f&cking cold brew."

He had a customized RV big rig with 2500 gallons of water, diesel genny, tons of food & beer. The place was setup with squared off multiple encampments from million dollar RV's down to the tent dwellers & the psychedelic crowd. Nobody outside our circle were allowed in. It was super hot, dry, dusty, but a lotta fun. I probably only engaged with 2% of the crowd, mostly Europeans. Resident folks in Nevada warn not to go out in Black Rock desert if it rains and if it looks like it might rain, GTFO!. You couldn't pay me or buy my ticket to go there in these times.
