‘Here’s a fabulous picture of a full rainbow putting on a show for some smiles in not such an ideal situation!’ she wrote.

‘Found some WiFi … Have been rained into the playa (ground) here at Burning Man. Good thing is, we are safe, we have food and ‘dryish’ shelter it is very moist here and forecast is for more rain over the next few days… Fingers and toes crossed for some sunshine to clear things up.

‘But for now, ChoooookAsssssses and I’ll get in touch when I find some more WiFi.’

‘Not dead yet, made it out…It’s been a year of a week haha,’ Casey told her fans  

Tens of thousands of revelers attending the event in the Nevada desert were told to stay put and conserve food and water on Saturday after a massive rainstorm turned the site into a mud pit.

The final weekend of the hedonistic event ground to a halt on Friday night as freezing, mud-caked conditions took over but it even led to celebrities like Chris Rock making a bid to escape the deluge.

‘Do not travel to Black Rock City!’ Burning Man organisers tweeted, referring to the desert area where the alternative festival takes place.

‘Access to the city is closed for the remainder of the event, and you will be turned around’, organisers said in a statement on social media.
