Would there be mass panic? Would certain people blame other people?

Wiki The Dust Bowl

Sometimes the weather/climate just does weird things.


You think the dust bowl was just caused by the weather doing weird things?

It was caused by poor farming techniques. It was a man-made disaster.

The eight-year drought that plagued the central U.S. in the 1930s, immortalized in The Grapes of Wrath, wracked the Great Plains with devastating dust storms and affected two thirds of this country as well as parts of Mexico and Canada. Paramount to determining why the conditions were so severe and long-lasting is discerning what caused the drought to begin with. Findings published today in the journal Science suggest that unusual sea surface temperatures could be to blame

The farming techniques just made the dust worse, the drought was the cause of crop failures
