While that doesn't look good, the western parts of the state experienced what can only be described as surreal horror. One particular day, April 14, 1935, is known as "Black Sunday" throughout all of the central plains. Many believed the world was coming to an end. See www.ptsi.net and www.bookrags.com, for examples. At www.scholastic.com the day is described:


Cyclonic winds traveling at speeds up to 100 miles per hour rolled out of the Dakotas and traveled quickly across Nebraska, Kansas, eastern Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. Dirt clouds churned 20,000 feet into the air and created a thousand-mile-wide duster.
