Thousands of Burning Man attendees who are stuck at the festival in the Nevada desert because of muddy conditions are being advised to leave on Sept. 5, according to organizers, as CEO Marian Goodell told people to stay calm.

“Consider delaying your departure from Black Rock City until Tuesday 9/5. This will alleviate large amounts of congestion throughout the day today, Monday 9/4,” an update on the official website reads.
