The Dust Bowl was a period in the 1930's where a series of sever dust storms covered certain regions in America, causing crops to die, and a failure in the productivity in farms. During this time there was also a huge drought that covered these same regions, making it nearly impossible to grow food. The winds were so strong, that any dirt that was no rooted to the ground, or filled with moisture, were thrown into the air, where they sometimes blackened the skies.
