We have not had a black sky full blown dust storm in many many years. On occasion thw winds really pick up and Texas or Kansas will come to visit us. That is mostly high in the atmosphere. The sky may turn brown, and if it rains it rains reddish brown rain. But we don't get the thick dark sky dust storms like Tweze had pictures of.
I often think on my in-laws living on a farm in rural OK during the 30s dust bowl era. Imagine living in a house with no electricity, no running water, the bathroom is a little building 20 steps from the door. 100+ degree heat and a massive dust storm come through. The houses were not built "tight" so dust would blow right through the doors and cracks in the walls and ceiling. The house is HOT and you can't open a window or door because the house will fill with dirt. Those folks were TOUGH.
