Several vans, trailers and U-Hauls made their way back into the city Sunday after wet weather conditions put an end to the Burning Man festival.
Despite the unexpected scenario, burners shared different experiences about their early departure from the event.
Some said the playa has turned into a “mud lake” where nobody could move and that the drying process made the situation worse as it turned out to be very slow.
They shared that some burners had brought enough food and resources for the remainder of the event, but others had only planned to attend Burning Man for two or three days, leading to their supplies running low.
“It is apocalyptic up there right now,” Burner Paul Tan said. “I don't know how they're going to empty out and exodus, they call it. I don't know how that's going to happen with sixty-seventy-thousand people."
Other burners, however, said they were still able to make the most out of the event even with extreme weather conditions.
“On the ground things actually felt not only safe and comfortable for the vast majority of people, in my impression, but actually fun because we were all there as a community and we actually came together and made the best of it,” Burner Elizabeth Bershad said.
With a lot of cars getting stuck in the mud and people not being able to leave, burners said the community got together to help each other out.
They said the community was overall prepared to deal with the circumstances and that the Burning Man Organization did a good job of assisting the attendees.
