"Burning Man 2023: From Mud to Exodus"

Organizers of the Burning Man festival in Nevada have allowed attendees to leave after wet conditions improved, but suggested delaying departure until Tuesday to avoid congestion. Heavy rain turned the event into a mud bath, leaving 72,000 people stranded. The death of a man on Friday was unrelated to the weather. The festival's finale, the burning of an effigy, has been postponed to Monday evening. Some attendees had to hike through the mud to reach the nearest road, while others arranged for buses or hitchhiked out of the area.

Rainstorm at Burning Man festival leaves attendees stranded in muddy desert

Tens of thousands of Burning Man festival-goers are trapped in Nevada's Black Rock desert after heavy rain turned the site into a muddy mess. Organizers have advised attendees to stay in their camps, conserve food and water, and not to drive on the playa. The weather disruptions have caused the cancellation of art burns and raised doubts about the festival's centerpiece events. This year's Burning Man was already facing challenges with flooding caused by Hurricane Hilary. The conditions have drawn comparisons to the ill-fated Fyre Festival and Woodstock '94.

"Burning Man 2023: Rainy Weather Forces Burners to Stay in Camps"

More than 73,000 Burning Man attendees are confined to their camps in Black Rock City, Nevada, after heavy rain turned the desert into a muddy mess. Vehicle traffic has been banned, and attendees are urged to stay in their camps and conserve food and water. The closure of roads and gates has halted cleaning and servicing of port-a-potties, and the small airport serving the event has also halted operations. The poor weather has forced the cancellation of multiple large-scale art burns, but the Man effigy burn and the burning of the Temple of the Heart are still scheduled.

Tom Kim's muddy mishap at PGA Championship goes viral.

Golfer Tom Kim fell into a marsh and got covered in mud during his opening round at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club. He hit his drive into the mud on the par-4 sixth and waded through the weeds to look for his ball. When he came back out, he was covered in mud, so he walked back to the creek that went through the fairway and hopped right in to wash himself off. He finished the rest of the round with his pants rolled up and saved his bogey on the hole.

Ukraine's Struggle Against Mud and Russian Forces.

Heavy mud in Ukraine is delaying the spring offensive as tanks, self-propelled howitzers, and armored personnel carriers get bogged down. A video shows two T-64 tanks and two M133 armored personnel carriers stuck in the mud, exposing the entire column to the risk of an instant air attack. The Russian army is also hampered by the mud, which is one of the reasons why Russia does not launch a counter-offensive on land. The video shows that it is not just American equipment that has problems with Ukrainian mud, but Soviet equipment as well.

Ukraine's Counteroffensive Hindered by Mud and Lack of Equipment

Springtime mud is causing mobility issues for both Ukrainian and Russian troops in eastern Ukraine, with German-made howitzers being particularly vulnerable due to their sensitivity to dirt and moisture. The Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzers require soldiers to wear slippers or booties when entering the vehicles to avoid tracking in mud, and even come with a vacuum cleaner. Despite the challenges, Ukrainian forces operating the howitzers have reportedly seen some successes against Russian tank and infantry units. Mud has also impacted operations for both sides in the conflict, but the surface conditions are expected to improve as the weather gets better.

Russian state-affiliated outlets are claiming that Russian forces have captured a German-made Leopard tank in mud and drowned it in a swamp.
