CNN —
As thousands of people remain unable to leave the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert after heavy rains inundated their campsites with ankle-deep mud Saturday, authorities say they are investigating a death at the event.

Attendees were told to shelter in place in the Black Rock Desert and conserve food, water and fuel after a rainstorm swamped the area, forcing officials to halt any entering or leaving of the festival.

The remote area in northwest Nevada was hit with 2 to 3 months worth of rain – up to 0.8 inches – in just 24 hours between Friday and Saturday mornings. The heavy rainfall fell on dry desert grounds, whipping up thick, clay-like mud that festivalgoers say is too difficult to walk or bike through.

“More rain is expected over the next few days and conditions are not expected to improve enough to allow vehicles to enter the playa,” the Bureau of Land Management said in a statement obtained by the Reno Gazette Journal.

Athlone skater lands a spot in Guinness World Records Book​

Jean-Marc Johannes, 32, from Athlone is now regarded as skateboarding royalty after he was inducted into the record books. His recent inclusion comes after he broke not one, but two world records in 2022 for the most skateboard 360 frontside spins in 30 seconds (seven) and most consecutive skateboard ollies (323).
