These images show the devastation that drove the Dust Bowl refugees to leave their homes and migrate to California. They also depict the lives of these families on the road west. Overview. In 1931, a severe drought hit the Southern and Midwestern plains. As crops died and winds picked up, dust storms began. As the Dust Bowl photograph shows, crops literally blew away in black blizzards as years of poor farming practices and over-cultivation combined with the lack of rain. By 1934, 75% of the United States was severely affected by this terrible drought.
