This shows how sever the Dust bowl was. Dust is literally flying everywhere.

The  Dust Bowl took place in the 30's in Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas. These states faced a drought and the land was very dry and windy. The drought lasted 6-10 years depending on which of these states you resided. This wind caused the dirt and soil to fly around in the air which gave  this time the name "Dust Bowl"


During the Dust Bowl many farmers went out of business and became poor.

                                                       Many people wore dust masks during the dust bowl.
