CALEXICO, Calif. (Border Report<\/a>) — Esteban Ojeda was visiting his cousin and other relatives when their cellphones suddenly went off with a warning: A giant sandstorm was approaching and it would arrive in an hour.<\/p>\n

Ojeda didn’t believe it.<\/p>\n

“The sky was super clear and you go nothing is going to happen,” he said. “And my other cousin shows up and he goes outside, and now his hair is almost blowing off it\u2019s so crazy, and the sky is all brown, you couldn\u2019t see an inch in front of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ojeda admitted it was worrisome not knowing when it was going to end.<\/p>\n

“It was really scary,” he said. “It was raining and wet we don\u2019t get a lot of that in Calexico. It\u2019s kind of dangerous to be out on the road, too.”<\/p>\n

Ojeda said the worst part was not being able to get a hold of his mother. It would take two hours before he talked to her on the phone.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m kind of waiting until the dust settles down,” he says, “And as soon as the dust settles down, this rainbow shows up and all of a sudden a downpour of rain for about 10 minutes.”<\/p>\n

According to police in Calexico, there were no serious injuries reported in the city. There were also no injuries in Imperial Valley.<\/p>\n

But it was a different story south of the border in Mexicali.<\/p>\n
