STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - Nevada authorities on Sunday said they were investigating one death after a severe rainstorm left tens of thousands of revelers attending the annual Burning Man festival stranded in mud, and asked that they shelter in place and conserve food and water.
Access to and from Black Rock City, the event site, was closed"for the remainder of the event," organizers said in a statement on social media. The festival gets its name from its culminating event, the burning of a large wooden structure called the Man on the penultimate night. On Saturday, attendee Paul Reder, who has been going to the event for 22 years, told Reuters in a video call that he expected it would take at least two days for the area to dry out.
