Hello, I am [G. Edward Johnson] and have been on wikipedia since 2002. My first edit with this account was on March 22, 2002 to create the page for The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. (I may have edited some pages anonymously before then, I just don't remember.) I have recently been adding photos to articles as well as short article descriptions.
Black Sunday was a severe dust storm that occurred on April 14, 1935, as part of the Dust Bowl, a period of severe dust storms in the American prairies in the 1930s. The storm first hit the Oklahoma panhandle and northwestern Oklahoma, then moved south into Texas. The conditions were the most severe in the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles, but the storm's effects were also felt in surrounding areas. Drought, erosion, bare soil, and winds caused the dust to fly freely and at high speeds. It is estimated that 300,000 tons of topsoil were displaced from the prairie area. Black Sunday was one of the worst dust storms in American history and caused immense economic and agricultural damage. This photograph shows the storm approaching Stratford, Texas.Photograph credit: George Everett Marsh Jr.; restored by Yann Forget
