Rain isn't usually an issue at Burning Man, which takes place every year in Nevada's Black Rock Desert. But as storms hit the region, organisers cancelled the weeklong event's first day on Monday, August 25th. Thousands of "burners" were locked outside the waterlogged festival area, with most people seeking alternative campsites or returning to Reno.
