The 50s were grim.

Haven't seen dust storms like we had in Northern Oklahoma back in the fifties. The older folks said it was just like the thirties.

Days on end...dust everywhere, on every surface, inside the house...which was closed up tight.

Damn, you could taste the stuff...

I've been in dust storms since, but they tend to be once every few years or so. And nothing like the ones of sixty years ago.

Remember when the drought finally broke. Lord, Eastern Kansas went under water. Trains were stranded on embankments for days.

There was a tornado in Dallas when we lived there. I saw it. I still see it in nightmares. People said it broke the draught.
