What was the impact on people after the Dust Bowl?




 The dust storms caused lots of property damage, as well as killing farm animals and destroying homes (Living history.org). The storms caused hundreds of acres of crops to be lost.   This left hundreds of farmers without a means to support themselves.  So many farmers left their homes and moved to California.  These migrating farmers were called "Okies" (James N Gregory).

    1. It wasn't much the farmers killed their animals it would be the dust. But when the farmers did have to kill their animals, it was mostly chickens, cows, sheep, pigs, and horses.
