The Dust Bowl of the 1930s brought more than hard times to America’s Heartland and Southwest. Known as ‘black blizzards,’ dust storms moved across the United States with devastating force. Take a look at these hauntingly eerie images highlighting the horrific weather phenomenon that rocked our nation’s center.

This storm pictured in 1935, was the worst storm of the decade-long Dust Bowl in the southern Plains. Daylight turns to total blackness by mid-afternoon in the Midwestern town of Ulysses, Kansas.

“Black Sunday” marked the worst dust storm in US history on April 14, 1935. Stratford, Texas is pictured four days later as the monstrous storm still lingers.

Iconic photographer Dorothea Lange captured several photos during the Great Depression like this image of rural Colorado. Lange snapped this photo as a huge, dark dust cloud swarmed over houses in a small Colorado community. The Dust Bowl was a huge contributing factor to our country’s struggle during the Great Depression.
