The Dust Bowl of the 1930's was a decade of devastation. The Dust Bowl was a time were severe dust storms,droughts, floods, tornadoes, and blizzards hit southeastern Colorado, southwest Kansas, and the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. The Dust Bowl affected the whole west ward region and later on it came to affect the whole country. The Dust bowl was created by Tons of topsoil being blown off barren fields and carried into storm clouds for hundreds of miles. The Dust Bowl got its name after "Black Sunday" which was a storm cloud traveling at 60 miles per hour that covered eastern Oklahoma, people thought that the world was ending that day. The clouds were able to carry the soil because of the erosion in the soil. Farmers did not take care of their soil well enough so the soil was so weak that when these heavy winds came, it flew right up with them. The Dust Bowl Forced tens of thousands of families to abandon their homes and farms, it left those people in devastation and in ruins. The positive affect that the Dust Bowl brought on today's society was that it taught farmers new farming methods and techniques. The 1930’s fostered a whole new era of soil conservation.
