Yes it’s as if the mountains, just 30 kilometers south of Mexicali, were sweating like hell, as if they got so scared that they were trying to escape, to move away leaving behind clouds of dust blanketing the whole area.
These are the same tremendous dust clouds as seen in the following NOAA Weather Satellite imagery:
These Americans were on the road from San Felipe To Mexicali right in the heart of the epicenter of the earthquake, they pulled over and saw the huge clouds of dust beginning to rise from the rocks in the steep mountain range.
