I don't know how many of you are familiar with the dust bowl days back in the 30's. These were trying times and right in the middle of the great depression. When it came to being SS, these people really knew what that meant. DH and I lived in the western part of Kansas years ago, and we knew people out there who went through these storms. The people of that day thought that they were in the "time of the end." During the 5 years that we were there we only had one storm like this; however, during the 30's the storms came very regular.
Just thought you might like to see and imagine what it would have been like. I hope I am posting the web site so you can just click on it and see the pictures. If I didn't do it right, you can do a search for Dust Bowl Pictures and come up with the site that way.
