Complete Whiteout
The sandstorm, which caused a complete whiteout, began on August 25, 2008, shutting down one of the entrances. Winds settled during the week, but picked back up on Saturday, August 30, 2008. Several attendees left early, missing the ceremonial burning of the wooden man-shaped effigy. Although several were arrested on unrelated charges, no serious injuries or deaths were reported from the storm.The Associated Press: Dust Storm Causes Some to Leave Burning Man Early -
