  • Burning Man gates reopen

    Burning Man gates reopen; 6-9 hour wait to enter Black Rock City

    The Black Rock City entrance gate has reopened after being closed due
    to weekend storms.

    Burners from Reno are once again being allowed to travel to BRC and
    are no longer being stopped at Wadsworth.

    But wait times on County Route 34 to the gate are expected to range
    6-9 hours today, and officials say that could change with the coming
    weather.

    The BRC airport was also temporarily closed but has since reopened

    Towering dust storm known as a haboob plunges Phoenix into darkness

    A wall of sand and fine dust raced from the Arizona desert, bringing
    lightning and flooding rain, days after a similar storm overtook
    Burning Man in Nevada.
