In which decade in the United States, did the devastating dust storms occur in the prairie states?

Wow,,! I have read much history and watched many documentaries on the Dust Bowl area , our American history is amazing to know, ,again WOW,,can’t even imagine what the people went through,many people died from breathing in the fine dust particles, as fine as baby powder,,

Player #21374632, Oklahoma was also impacted.

The Grapes of Wrath is a pretty good example of what thousands did to survive.

Many of the other Great Plains states such as Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota & North Dakota, etc. were also very affected by the Dust Bowl years.

EXCUSE ME!!! WHAT ABOUT OKLAHOMA? This was part of my Oklahoma History that I studied. I was born and raised in the panhandle of Oklahoma. My mother was born in 1936, and my Grandparents told us of the horrors of living through The Dust Bowl!!!

Sis, Thanks to the Oklahomans who migrated to California (Read John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath) if it were not for them; the Orange Packing Industry would not have not been a thriving business in the 30s. The people from the Dust Bowl were industrious, kind hearted people who worked cooperatively with the diverse ethnic groups. I like American history and I like how it seems that difficult such as the Dust Bowl, the Depression, etc. brought out the best in people.

There were many place in North America that had dust storm Canada had them start in 1929 and continue into the 1930’s. The united state dust reach as far as New York. And the Saharan Desert get large plumes that have traveled across the Atlantic and created havoc in Texas air . It can also travel up over Europe.

watched and learned about the dust bowl and how the Okies were treated in California. Truly tragic.

imagine the financial depression going on worldwide and add to that the dust bowl. Many farm animals starved to death as well as people.

I’ve heard that’s why certain individuals today turn their drinking glasses right side up or upside down. The upside down ones can be traced to the ancestors of the dust bowl.

Sis, that's why it's called the. dirty thirtys

Many animals also suffocated from the dust storms.
