(Storm sweeps through the Southern portion of Imperial County.

Hardest hit was Calexico and Heber, with El Centro and Imperial also feeling the affects of the storm. Other than a dust storm, Brawley and Calipatria escaped the blunt of the storm. Estimates are that an estimated 2 inches of rain fell on the south county areas, with winds up to 60 miles per hour. Early estimates are at least 100 power poles were down. Imperial Irrigation District crews are working as quickly as possible to repair the damage. By mid morning Thursday more than 1, 100 customers in Calexico had their power restored. Restoration efforts were continuing in Heber. Because of the severe damage resulting from the storm, the American Red Cross set up an emergency shelter at Dogwood Elementary School in Heber
