Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding members of society for sure. I guess all some people know is the sensationalized drugs and sex. A person died. This is a tragedy for an event that brings positivity into the world. Kind of annoyed.

    rarely

    And yes, when rain rains on a dried lake bed (playa, not “beach” in spanish), you get lake.

    Climate change means the cilmate will not stay the same.

    It’s rained a bit while I was there years back, but not to this extent. Not that it wasn’t always a possibility though.

      Pard, you sure as shootin’ got that part right.

      And I’ve barely been following this year’s event at all. If heavy rains were indeed predicted, then it seems to me that at the very least, the organisers have some pretty colossal questions to answer.
