Hi,

Rather than try to answer all your questions I want to refer you to this Science Buddies Project writeup:

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p052.shtml

I think it will answer many of your questions Pay particular attention to the Bibliography section. They have pictures of dust storms in various places, oral interviews with survivors of the stroms, and information on what was learned on how to prevent a recurance.

I thnk this resource wil answer most of your questions with some work, far better than I could do otherwise..

Best regards,

Barrett L. Tomlinson
