It feels like we're repeating history from 100 years ago...next up: The Great(est?) Depression!

It will be The Greatest.

The biggest Depression. We looked at the Great Depression and thought "that... that doesn't look so bad. We can surely do it better now."

Submission Statement: Alerts for dust storms which bring dirty (mud) rain are new to me. As existing drought conditions worsen with Niño Boogaloo, it might be wise to prepare for return of the dirty thirties, earlier than expected.

I'm glad they are issuing them though. They make a mess and driving can be dangerous at first because it just smears on your windshield.

Here in western MN we currently have a Blowing Dust Advisory (and an Air Quality Alert). I can't say I've ever in my life seen a Blowing Dust Advisory.

Speaking as a Texan who deals with these, you're about to discover every crack in your house. The dust will show where they are.
You'll want to get a humidifier going to encourage any dust getting in to drop to the floor so you can vacuum it up.

There's a climate change map that I saw a few years ago, for 2050.
The southern US was on fire year-round.
The midwest's arable region was basically in central Canada.
So I guess we're 25 years early on those predictions.

That's in retaliation for the smoke

Canada will be sending us smoke from fires from super El Niño so I guess it kind of evens out
