How did people deal with the dust storms?

Sagot :

During the Dust Bowl, students were sent home from school to prevent "dust pneumonia". Sometimes, students were even kept over night because it was too dangerous to walk home in the dust storms. People tried to protect themselves by hanging wet sheets in front of doorways and windows to filter the dirt. They stuffed window frames with gummed tape and rags.
