AI notes: In March 1935, Kansas City was hit by a massive dust storm, part of the Dust Bowl era that devastated the Great Plains during the 1930s. On March 21, 1935, a thick, dark cloud of dust swept into the city, plunging it into near-total darkness during daylight hours. Visibility dropped to just a few feet, and the storm disrupted transportation, businesses, and daily life. The choking dust caused health issues and emphasized the environmental catastrophe caused by severe drought, poor farming practices, and high winds. The event was one of many that highlighted the urgent need for soil conservation efforts, which the federal government soon began to address.
