Things have not been smooth sailing at Burning Man this year.
For those who haven’t been keeping up, a massive rainstorm left Nevada’s Black Rock Desert completely flooded over the weekend, thus stranding more than 70,000 attendees. Local officials asked festival-goers to “shelter in place” due to the inclement weather and conserve their food and water.

Sadly, a press release from the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office also revealed there has been one casualty, which happened “during this rain event,” per a Saturday press release from the sheriff’s department.
