The Dust Bowl
The Dust Bowl is a term used to describe a region that suffered from drought and dust storms during the Great Depression. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s lasted for about a decade. It was one of the most trying times in the history of the nation. Families struggled to survive during this time. The Dust Bowl actually caused the Depression to last longer.
The Dust Bowl was located along the southern Plains. Oklahoma, Kansas, and parts of Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado made up the Dust Bowl. Drought took away the rains and the water. The land was left dry and parched. The wind came and blew the dust around.
The blowing dust made it difficult to do even simple things. It was hard to breathe, eat, and sleep with all the dust. People got sick from all the dust. Farmers were not able to grow crops. Food and water were scarce.
Sometimes the dust storms were so bad they were more like dust blizzards. One day was called “Black Sunday.” On this day, the worst dust blizzard happened. It caused a lot of damage. The rains did not come until 1939.

👨🏻🦰Todd: So Meg, are you busy this weekend?
👩🏻🦰Meg: Yes, I'm so busy because I'm moving.
👨🏻🦰Todd: Oh, no.
👩🏻🦰Meg: Yeah, there's a lot of work to do.
👨🏻🦰Todd: What do you have to do?
👩🏻🦰Meg: First, I have to prepare my apartment, so I need to pack all of my things.
👨🏻🦰Todd: That's not fun.
👩🏻🦰Meg: No, it takes a long time.
👨🏻🦰Todd: Do you need help?
👩🏻🦰Meg: Yeah, do you have time to help me?
👨🏻🦰Todd: I can help you on Sunday.
👩🏻🦰Meg: Ooh, are you busy on Saturday?
👨🏻🦰Todd: Yeah, on Saturday I have to work. I have to teach two classes, and then after I teach, I have to grade papers. Oh, it sounds like you're really busy too. Plus, I have to meet my friends that evening.
👩🏻🦰Meg: Oh, what will you do with your friends?
👨🏻🦰Todd: I'm helping my friend also. My friend has car problems, so I have to take him to the mechanic, but on Sunday I can help you.
👩🏻🦰Meg: OK, that would be great because on Sunday I have to take some trash to the dump, and I have to finish some paperwork at city hall to prepare for moving to a new country
👨🏻🦰Todd: Now, because you're moving, do you have to go to the post office?
👩🏻🦰Meg: I do have to go to the post office. I almost forgot. At the post office, I have to submit a form to say my new address.
👨🏻🦰Todd: Ah, that's good because I have to go to the post office, too.
👩🏻🦰Meg: Oh, really.
👨🏻🦰Todd: I have to send my mom's birthday gift to her.

👨🏻🦰Todd: So, I'll see you Sunday. What time should I be here?
👩🏻🦰Meg: I have to go to city hall by three p.m., so can you come at two?
👨🏻🦰Todd: OK, but if you want to go to the dump, the dump closes at noon, so we have to leave early.
👩🏻🦰Meg: Ah, OK. Can you come at eleven?
👨🏻🦰Todd: Yes. OK, so I will see you at eleven o'clock.
