"A powerful dust storm wreaked havoc on Nevada’s annual Burning Man festival over the weekend, tossing around early attendees’ campsites and trapping incoming Burners in up to eight hours of stop-and-go traffic.

The National Weather Service issued warnings about the storm in advance, noting it would bring in a fast-moving “wall of blowing dust.” But by Saturday, Burners were already descending on Black Rock City.

The advisory carried over into Sunday as more revelers trickled in, having been stalled by the previous evening’s bout."
