About

The article describes dust storms in Texas, focusing on their history and impact. It explains that dust storms are caused by drought, wind, and dryland farming. These storms can cause car accidents, health problems, and damage to crops but can also help soil fertility. Dust storms are most common in the High Plains around Lubbock during late winter and early spring. The article mentions Black Sunday in 1935 as one of the worst dust storms ever. It warns that a new Dust Bowl could happen due to climate change despite efforts to prevent it.
