Inspired by Cecily Jepson Hepworth’s diary excerpts, 1931 - 1934

"April 8-10, 1931: Been a terrible dust storm all night, cannot see anywhere. Worse for dust & wind than has ever been known before, the house is full of soil, cannot see any buildings."
"April 10, 1934: Another terrible dust storm, just eating grit, terrible weather."
"April 22, 1934: Bad dust storm. Blowing as hard as ever."

Cecily came from Chorley Lancashire England to the Readlyn Saskatchewan Canada area in 1916. (Saskatchewan Archives #R-E190)
