Just one day, in the decade-long dustbowl years........ On April 14, 1935, a freakish storm barreled through the Texas Panhandle, sweeping up 300,000 tons of topsoil. The dirt sailed through the air, choking people and animals, blanketing houses and cars. In one day, the duster ripped up twice as much dirt as was dug out of the Panama Canal during seven years.
