The rain came and left a muddy swamp. Yet, the spirit of Burning Man held strong for thousands who made it through the storm and waited for the sun to dry the earth enough for them to finally drive home Monday.
“As former military from San Diego, I’ve seen a lot worse mud in a lot worse places. So, this is actually a joy,” smiled John Waldheim while standing outside his RV Monday morning. “As soon as it started to rain, people were rolling around in the mud and just embracing what was happening.” Thousands of people are rationing water and food at Burning Man until it dries up enough for them to leave. NBC 7's Kelvin Henry spoke to one attendee from San Diego about his experience.
A heavy rain delayed or canceled dozens of performances and forced “Burners” to stay inside after a heavy Friday storm forced the closure of roads in and out of the Black Rock Desert site.“Some people were panicking that were probably not prepared,” Waldheim offered. “When it started to come down it was pretty bad, and it got pretty gnarly.”
