AGUA PRIETA, SONORA – Residents of Agua Prieta, Sonora, witnessed a dramatic natural spectacle on July 1, 2025, as a massive sandstorm, locally known as a 'tormenta de arena,' swept across the region. Footage captured by a local resident shows the immense wall of dust rapidly approaching the town, transforming the clear sky into a hazy, orange-brown expanse. The video, recorded from a roadside vantage point, illustrates the sheer scale and speed of the storm as it engulfed the horizon. Power lines and a highway with passing vehicles are visible in the foreground, providing a sense of perspective to the towering dust cloud.
