A local man stuck at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada is hoping to make it in time to watch Browns on Sunday.
CLEVELAND — After three months of rain fell in just hours Friday, turning the Nevada desert into a muddy mess, the mass exodus continued Tuesday as thousands of people who attended the Burning Man Festival looked to make their way home.
"There was no riding bikes til basically this morning, maybe last night, and that's the main way you get around is on bikes here." “There's no rain out here, and you talk about Cleveland being prepared for snow — the desert isn't prepared for rain, and especially this ground out here. It's like a clay, a very thick clay. When it gets wet and it sticks to your shoes. Every step is like you're in quicksand.”
"We were one of the few private camps with WiFi," he said."We almost became a meeting spot where people are calling home because, at that point, everyone at home was getting all of this misinformation about ebola, and we heard something about an active shooter."
