Desert downpours dampen spirits of Burning Man festival in Nevada

Washington, United States: Thousands of people were ordered to shelter in place at the Burning Man festival in the western state of Nevada on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) after heavy rains turned the desert site into a mud pit and forced organizers to close the gates.

'Do not travel to Black Rock City!' Burning Man organizers tweeted, referring to the desert area where the alternative festival takes place.
