So I'm reading The Worst Hard Time with my Pops and I came across this fact in the introduction that I can't even wrap my mind around. On April 14, 1935, thereafter known as Black Sunday, the storm carried twice as much dirt as was dug out of the earth in seven years to create the Panama Canal . Twice as much dirt. One afternoon. That's crazy.
The picture is from that storm. Pure dust and dirt.
