I grew up with stories of the dust bowl. My Dad and his entire family left Oklahoma for California on the back of a 1929 Chevy Flat Bed Truck. They were turned back at the border and had to go back to Arizona for work. At 92 we watched it together and he said it was as real to him as it was back in 34. There was no place that the dirt didn't find. If you tried to drive your car through a storm it would literally choke the car so it couldn't run.
