Extensive farming combined with severe drought caused the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. Deep plowing on the Great Plains killed the natural grasses that kept soil in place, and the topsoil turned to dust and blew away.
Of course it wasn't one dust storm, but a series of storms that continued for many years throughout the decade. The Dust Bowl was exacerbated by previous farming techniques that stripped the land of its deep-rooted grasses, and tilling methods that loosened and kicked up large quantities of soil.
