jun 11, 1930 - Dust Bowl Begins

Description:

The Dust Bowl begins in South Dakota, but soon becomes centered around the Oklahoma panhandle and Kansas. The storms reach all the way to D.C., and New England's winter snow is tinted red. Farmers and their communities are forced to migrate in the millions, many heading west to California. The industrial worker and miner focused Socialists are unable to offer solutions to the problem, especially with the displaced rural populations now competing for work in the big cities.
