Bill Huey from San Diego says that despite the mud and rain storms, he still plans to continue attending Burning Man events in the future.
"I was pretty fatigued the day of the rains, and I didn't know how severe it was," he said in one of the recordings."I was aware there was going to be a rain event Sunday, but when it started raining harder, I realized that there was going to be some impact to traction and vehicles on the main roads and the playa."Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
More than 70,000 people are stranded in the desert. The event was essentially shut down, and attendees were told to shelter in place, according to notices from the event's organizers. "It's 50/50. People can make it out with all-wheel drive vehicles, or attempting to do so. There's a truck, I think it's a Ram Big Horn, that is stuck because it only has two-wheel drive right now. The front end is stuck in the mud," he said."It's really sketchy, and there are black clouds looming over, and I'm not sure how bad this rainstorm is that's coming in [Sunday night]," he said.
Despite the mud and rain storms, Huey says he still plans to attend Burning Man events in the future. "The burn is something that is special to me," Huey said."I will definitely go back here, and almost everybody will probably say the same."This article tagged under:
