[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1567003, member: 5412"] Not quite the same. The year the dust bowl happened is 1930 - 1936 and in some areas 1940. It was much worse than this isolated incident. Granted this one was pretty bad, but nowhere near the dust bowl. The dust bowl didn't just come from drought and high winds. We have those today. Farming practices, huge wildfires stripping the land of grass, etc caused the dust bowl. Newer farming practices, and the shelter belts have contributed to the lack of major dust storms. We still have them, just not as severe. I have a double volume of Kay and Grant county histories complete with pictures, from the land run days forward. Great Grandpa's land did not have a tree one, on over a thousand acres. Now, trees are abundant along the creeks, brush grows in the fence rows, etc. Trust me the dust bowl isn't going to happen like it did in the past. Isolated areas may experience a little of it.
