desc = "For the Southern Plains of the United States, the 1930s was the time of the Great Depression, made worse by the disastrous Dust Bowl. Years of drought and deep plowing had exposed the top soil of the fertile plains to high winds. Dust storms blanketed the states of the region, devastating farms, wreaking havoc on communities, and bringing further hardship to an already strained economy. By 1938, conditions had eased somewhat, and the worst of the storms had passed. The United States breathed a little easier.

By the time it was finished, 700 people were killed, 8,900 homes were destroyed, and around 63,000 people were made homeless. In all, over 2 billion trees were lost. The hurricane caused massive amounts of damage to a nervous economy, causing $6.2 million in damage ($15 billion 1998 dollars)."

The Dust Bowl and the Hurricane of '38 were pretty signficant. For "End of the Dust Bowl", I'd go with -1 or -2 dissent. For the hurricane, I'd go with adding in supples like Steel suggested, maybe removing a tiny bit of manpower
