“Dust still blows on the plains, but day after day of choking dust, turning noon into night, has
not been seen since the 1930’s.  The Dust Bowl produced its worst storms in the southern
plains–southwest Kansas, southeast Colorado, and the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas–but
dust blew throughout the plains region, and the dust from the plains darkened the horizon all
the way to the east coast of the United States.”
