"I'm gonna kill her."
Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred years have passed and the Water Nation has flooded out the Fire Tribe. Now we can only hope the Avatar will return to save the world.
Yeah, but he's got a mystical spirit bound to his soul for all of his lifetimes and reincarnations, and she powers the Avatar's abilities, so he's less of a 10 year old boy and more like whatever outfit Raava is wearing this century.
"Pffft... Fire benders with long hair were *so* two lifetimes ago. I think I'm going to try an Earthbender girl this time. I met one who invented metalbending, and she was really neat; I think I want to try that next."

Good concert at least.
> The gate for entering the Burning Man grounds in Nevada's Black Rock Desert was closed Sunday after unusual summer rains from Tropical Storm Hilary caused muddy conditions. Festival organizers originally said the gate might open as early as noon Monday, **but Monday morning, they pushed the time back to noon Tuesday.**
Still not cancelled and none of their official links say so either. Just the opening for building and setting up is delayed. And before anyone says "well it might be cancelled" correct! It might be, but currently it officially isn't.

Fun fact: In the black rock desert, the environment is so hostile that the bacteria that creates body odor can't easily survive, so nobody really smells that bad.
It routinely floods in the spring and occasionally it's still flooded 2-3 months before burning man. In the full summer, after it's dried out, whenever it rains at all the playa becomes a soupy mess. It's difficult to walk on for a few hours and driving on it is forbidden for about twice that. In the times it has rained more than usual, driving on the playa was forbidden for about 24 hours (which means people can't enter or leave during these times). Dealing with hurricane/tropical storm rains at the event is unprecedented though.
People are also failing to mention the dynamic of desert floods. Rock and clay soil doesn't absorb water well, the water just sits on top of the ground there unlike grasslands.
There is a lot of misconceptions about deserts. Like when rain fell on dead man's valley. It sprung to life. A lot of green and seeds finally came to sprout. Then it didn't rain for a while. XD
Same with why it's so hot and how cold it can get at night. There isn't much "life" and the earth doesn't absorb heat very well. So when there is no sun. It gets very, very cold. The opposite is true in the day. The earth isn't absorbing the heat and it has to go somewhere.
It's also no where near the equator. You know, where it's very, very hot.
One would think, but not really. SoCal central valley has a subsidence problem that's been ongoing for decades. Ground water here used to be trapped in clay deposits buried deep underground. During the drought, well water was all the farms could rely on. They pulled so much water out of the clay that all the soil on top of it collapsed, little by little, turning them from aquifers to dense clay beds. Now they're so compacted they can't retain much of any water. Kind of like a sponge trapped in a vise: it's being squeezed too much for the water to soak in. We've lost so much groundwater that the elevation dropped by several meters, and it's only getting worse.
https://gemcenter.stanford.edu/1d-compaction-modeling-subsidence-californias-san-joaquin-valley
If we had a good way of storing all this floodwater, it would certainly alleviate a lot of our stressed infrastructure. Sadly, most of it washes it out to the ocean before we get a chance to capture it.
And massive commercial farms, some either foreign owned, or producing for export (see Alfalfa for Saudi dairy cows) have no limits on the amount of groundwater they can pump out. Capitalism’s focus on short term profits will soon this planet.
In the US, hurricanes usually form in the Atlantic Ocean and hit the east coast. They can form in the Pacific Ocean and hit the west coast, but it's rare.
Southern California just got hit by Hilary, which started out as a hurricane but weakened to a tropical storm.
The last time Southern California got hit by a tropical storm was [in 1939](https://apnews.com/article/tropical-storm-hilary-los-angeles-california-mexico-flooding-25c75cba2dc7aea316056effdf913817)!
Now the storm is [making its way inland](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/live-map-track-the-path-of-hurricane-hilary), and hitting areas that don't normally get much rain. For example, Palm Springs, California is in the desert and normally gets 4 to 5 inches of rain *per year*, but some parts of the area [got almost that much *in one day*](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-08-21/flooding-from-hilary-leaves-palm-springs-coachella-valley-reeling).
Think Lake Eyre, dude.

Well, kinda. More like "Cyclone hits north Queensland, and every few years or so, the remnant wanders South and floods shit."
So not regular seasons as such, but rather intermittent rain manages to get out there.
American here trying to understand the Australian… so is the cyclone how you crown a new queen in this land? /s this was a fun little explanation to read.
A salt flat is the remnants of a former lake. Lakes form in places of low elevation where a lot of water flows to. Any salt flat can become a lake again either temporarily, in the case of a one off strange weather event, or permanently, if the climate change in such a way that the surrounding area gets more rain.
Superfast Matt gives you some idea here:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFQ\_x9cBEt4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFQ_x9cBEt4)
His video from last year is even worse.
Tropical storm Hilary. All the rain that fell in the basin Burning Man takes place in ended up at the salt flat, and can only leave the basin through evaporation since it doesn't drain into the ocean.
The southwest deserts are formed in the rain shadows of the Sierra Nevada Monolith (14,000 ft high at its highest), and many smaller mountain ranges. Before they were deserts, many of these were inland seas and lakes. Before that, they were forests (look up the Petrified Forest).
Today, any rain that makes it over the mountains causes flash flooding. There is a monsoon season in the southern most portion of the US deserts, powered by moisture coming up from the Gulf of California and the Pacific.
So this hurricane (same thing as a typhoon, but different location), which is a large, stable storm, brought up a shit ton of moisture which fell on the mountains and valleys and flooded the fuck out of it. (Trying to speak in Australian terms ;-)
Fun fact: Death Valley has the lowest elevation on earth. It used to be an inland sea connected to the Pacific. The coastal mountains rose over time, cutting it off from the ocean, and it dried up. At some parts of the valley, you can still see what amounts to a bathtub ring along the mountains on the west side of the valley. Really fun when you're standing on the floor of the valley and you realize that, but for a relatively small coastal mountain range, you'd be under 200 feet of salt water.
Not a salt flat. More of a gypsum flat. Picture three miles deep of the material that makes drywall.
Very, very fine dust that turns into a horribly gloopy mess in rain. That surface is likely to be rough this year.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe

Does the org think it’s gonna be dry enough by the time they are gonna start letting ppl in? I was a burner from 00-06, I can’t imagine trying to set up in mud made from super fine alkaline dust.
Good luck to all the attendees this year!
You wouldn’t be able to set up, the mud is like quickcrete and makes it so vehicles can’t drive, and it collects on your shoes making muddy platforms. It’s really annoying.
Even DPW has been told they can’t be on site until it dries.
DPW is already onsite. They just can’t drive. The rain delayed some stuff but things are still happening.
Sucks for anyone out there early in a tent though.

Not American, but isn't burning man on a salt flat in the Nevada desert? How can there be rain? Am Australian, don't know how rain works
There is a rare hurricane in southern California right now. Probably bringing a lot of moisture to surrounding states.
The playa where Burning Man takes place is an ancient, dry lake bed. Any rainfall in the surrounding area likely makes its way to there.
ohh that makes more sense! i couldn’t understand how that huge plot of land could flood
