My wife's grandparents were farmers in Ames, OK and they stayed and had some tough times, but still raised 5 kids. Many of the record hot days for Oklahoma still date to the 1930s. Image, the entire nation is in the midst of the depression, and then a horrible summer of wind and dust. it is 110 degrees outside, the windows have to stay mostly closed or the house fills with dirt. Then you have to light the stove in the kitchen to cook dinner. No electricity, so no fans, and the only water was by a hand pump, Outhouses only, no indoor facilities. Those that stayed were tough. My grandparents all lived in Oklahoma City so just the depression to fight through.
