It came as monsoon weather across the Southwest brought much-needed rain to drought-ridden areas, while also unleashing dust storms, strong winds and flooding. This seasonal pattern has led to some chaotic weather, causing the snarled start to Burning Man as well as travel delays elsewhere and a recharged waterfall in Yosemite. #BurningMan #BlackRockDesert #Nevada #monsoon #duststorm Read the story here: nyti.ms/4n7F9sH Subscribe: bit.ly/U8Ys7n More from The New York Times Video: nytimes.com/video ---------- Whether it's reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world.
