What was the name of the severe dust storm that occurred on April 14, 1935 as part of the era known as the Dirty Thirties, which was partially caused by failure to apply the correct dryland farming methods along with a severe drought?
Black Sunday
Dust Bowl
The Dust Bowl, also known as the Dirty Thirties, was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion (the Aeolian processes) caused the phenomenon.
 The drought came in three waves, 1934, 1936, and 1939–1940, but some regions of the high plains experienced drought conditions for as many as eight years.
 With insufficient understanding of the ecology of the plains, farmers had conducted extensive deep plowing of the virgin topsoil of the Great Plains during the previous decade; this had displaced the native, deep-rooted grasses that normally trapped soil and moisture even during periods of drought and high winds.
 The rapid mechanization of farm equipment, especially small gasoline tractors, and widespread use of the combine harvester contributed to farmers' decisions to convert arid grassland (much of which received no more than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year) to cultivated cropland.
Black Sunday (storm)
Black Sunday refers to a particularly severe dust storm that occurred on April 14, 1935, as part of the Dust Bowl.
 It was one of the worst dust storms in American history and it caused immense economic and agricultural damage.
 It is estimated to have displaced 300 million tons of topsoil from the prairie area in the US.
Great Plains Shelterbelt
The Great Plains Shelterbelt was a project to create windbreaks in the Great Plains states of the United States, that began in 1934.
 President Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated the project in response to the severe dust storms of the Dust Bowl, which resulted in significant soil erosion and drought.
 The United States Forest Service believed that planting trees on the perimeters of farms would reduce wind velocity and lessen evaporation of moisture from the soil.
 By 1942, 220 million trees had been planted, stretching out 18600 mi in a 100-mile-wide zone from Canada to the Brazos River.
 Even as of 2007 , "the federal response to the Dust Bowl, including the PSFP [Prairie States Forestry Program] which planted the Great Plains Shelterbelt and creation of the Soil Erosion Service, represents the largest and most-focused effort of the [U.S.] government to address an environmental problem". Ash Wednesday bushfires
The Ash Wednesday bushfires, known in South Australia as Ash Wednesday II, were a series of bushfires that occurred in south-eastern Australia on 16 February 1983, which was Ash Wednesday in the Christian calendar.
 Within twelve hours, more than 180 fires fanned by winds of up to 110 km/h (68 mph) caused widespread destruction across the states of Victoria and South Australia.
 Years of severe drought and extreme weather combined to create one of Australia's worst fire days in a century.
 The fires became the deadliest bushfire in Australian history until the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009. 2009 Australian dust storm
The 2009 Australian dust storm, also known as the Eastern Australian dust storm, was a dust storm that swept across the Australian states of New South Wales and Queensland from 22 to 24 September.
 The capital, Canberra, experienced the dust storm on 22 September, and on 23 September the storm reached Sydney and Brisbane.
 Some of the thousands of tons of dirt and soil lifted in the dust storm were dumped in Sydney Harbour and the Tasman Sea. 1988–89 North American drought
The North American Drought of 1988 ranks among the worst episodes of drought in the United States.
 This multi-year drought began in most areas in 1988 and continued into 1989.
 The drought caused $60 billion in damage ($120 billion in 2014 United States dollars, adjusting for inflation).
 The drought occasioned some of the worst blowing-dust events since 1977 or the 1930s in many locations in the Midwestern United States, including a protracted dust storm, which closed schools in South Dakota in late February 1988.
 During the spring, several weather stations set records for lowest monthly total precipitation and longest interval between measurable precipitation, for example, 55 days in a row without precipitation in Milwaukee.
 During the summer, two record-setting heat waves developed, similar to those of 1934 and 1936.
 The concurrent heat waves killed 4,800 to 17,000 people in the United States.
 During the summer of 1988, the drought led to many wildfires in forested western North America, including the Yellowstone fires of 1988.
 At its peak, the drought covered 45% of the United States.
 While covering less area than the Dust Bowl, which covered 70% of the United States, the drought of 1988 ranks as not only the costliest drought in United States history but also the costliest natural disaster in United States history before Hurricane Katrina.
 In Canada, drought-related losses added to $1.8 billion (1988 Canadian dollars). 2011 East Africa drought
Between July 2011 and mid-2012, a severe drought affected the entire East Africa region.
 Said to be "the worst in 60 years", the drought caused a severe food crisis across Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Kenya that threatened the livelihood of 9.5 million people.
 Many refugees from southern Somalia fled to neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia, where crowded, unsanitary conditions together with severe malnutrition led to a large number of deaths.
 Other countries in East Africa, including Sudan, South Sudan and parts of Uganda, were also affected by a food crisis. 1983 Melbourne dust storm
The 1983 Melbourne dust storm was a meteorological phenomenon that occurred during the afternoon of 8 February 1983, throughout much of Victoria, Australia and affected the capital, Melbourne.
 Red soil, dust and sand from Central and Southeastern Australia was swept up in high winds and carried southeast through Victoria.
 The dust storm was one of the most dramatic consequences of the 1982/83 drought, at the time the worst in Australian history and is, in hindsight, viewed as a precursor to the Ash Wednesday bushfires which were to occur eight days later. Hurricane Hermine
Hurricane Hermine was the first hurricane to make landfall in Florida since Hurricane Wilma in 2005, and the first to develop in the Gulf of Mexico since Hurricane Ingrid in 2013.
 The ninth tropical depression, eighth named storm, and fourth hurricane of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season, Hermine developed in the Florida Straits on August 28 from a long-tracked tropical wave.
 The precursor system dropped heavy rainfall in portions of the Caribbean, especially the Dominican Republic and Cuba.
 In the former, the storm damaged more than 200 homes and displaced over 1,000 people.
 Although some areas of Cuba recorded more than 12 in of rain, the precipitation was generally beneficial due to a severe drought.
 After being designated on August 29, Hermine shifted northeastwards due to a trough over Georgia and steadily intensified into an 80 mph (130 km/h) Category 1 hurricane just before making landfall in the Florida Panhandle during September 2.
 After moving inland, Hermine quickly weakened and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on September 3 near the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
 The remnant system meandered offshore the Northeastern United States before dissipating over southeastern Massachusetts on September 8. Great Bakersfield Dust Storm of 1977
The Great Bakersfield Dust Storm of 1977 (also known as the Southern San Joaquin Valley Dust Storm) was a severe dust storm in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, California.
 It started in the late evening on December 19, 1977 and ended in the afternoon of December 21.
 It resulted in 3 deaths and $40 million in damages (does not include subsequent agricultural losses).
