Alarmist title. Burners gunna burn. Media likes to make people think thousands of people were stranded, at risk, and that this is a major fiasco.

This was a bit of rain. BLM shut gate again.

The big deal will be the clean up. Watch for the moop map, and hope it’s not all red. If it’s red, BLM won’t grant a permit for next year.

MOOP is Matter Out Of Place. Each part of burning man is cleaned again and again, and the final report is the moop map. Green = good. red = bad.
