An investigation has been launched into the death of a man at Burning Man in Nevada after the festival was hit by torrential rain and flash flooding.
Thousands of festival attendees were forced to trudge through mud - many barefoot or wearing plastic bags on their feet - as flooding from storms swept through the Nevada desert.
Organisers closed vehicle access to the festival on Saturday, with attendees told to conserve their food and water as poor weather continues. Gates to the festival will remain closed for the remainder of the event, which was scheduled to end on Monday. Burning Man attendees were told to shelter in place. No bikes or cars in or out, since the playa is a muddy mess right now. Some folks are walking 5 miles out in order to avoid being trapped inside, with 70K+ other people and very limited resources
