The Dust Bowl, also known as the Dirty Thirties, was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion caused the phenomenon.

Terrible times then.

Like one ol Texan told the other one: 'Didn't know that the storm was that heavy until I saw mah dog digging a hole ten feet off the ground'.

if you want to know more about this period, read The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck, and listen to the Dust Bowl Balads by Woddie Guthrie

I Love the thirties :)
