Very much so. Burners are probably laughing at the overreaction
From hearing various first hand accounts, it sounds like alot of hardcore burners embraced the rain & most others dipped out as soon as they could (many while the exit was technically closed).
I bet the energy was kinda fun and wild as long as you has the right gear and attitude
If you don’t have the right gear and attitude, you’re going to have a bad time at burning man to begin with.
There’s a certain type of burner that shows up for the weekend and leaves. Other types of burners (DPW) actually setup the city and tear it down after the event, living on the playa for months.
So yeah, it’s a spectrum, for sure.
