Black Sunday
The Black Sunday dust storm covered eastern Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.
On Black Sunday all the dust blocked the sun
The storm hit Rolla, Kansas around 4:00 PM.
People called the storms black blizzards.

WHERE REFUGES WENT AND WHAT THEY HAD
Refuges went to California
They couldn't get food other than what they had
Shabby buildings made up migrant camps in California
Some people could grow food
Most family's in the Great Plains live in dug outs
