I can relate.
I grew up during a time when great dust storms were frequent.
on the Llano Estacado the Dust Bowl didn't end until the mid fifties.
during the time I was trucking I saw interstate ten in new mexico closed because of dust storms
they had to close it.
idiots didn't slow down for conditions..there were two hundred car pileups with dozens injured and killed.
El Paso...I recall awesome dust storms in El Paso when I was truckin.
My dad was an Okie and moved to California exactly as depicted in the book The Grapes of Wrath. He told me stories of the Depression and Dust Bowl that were very grim.
I didn't know there were such powerful dust storms going on down that way. Amazing.

Small world. My dad was born in Quanah, Tx. His ancestors immigrated to Texas in 1854 from Germany. The English line from Atlanta about the same time.
