In 1934, the most severe dust storm in history raged from the Great Plains to the Atlantic Coast. Strong higher level winds carried around 350 million tons of silt across the Central and Eastern thirds of the country. The dust lodged into the eyes and throats of many New Yorkers, and collected on the decks of ships some 300 miles from shore. && In 1972, a cloudburst dumped 16 inches of rain just north of New Braunfels Texas. This sent a 30 foot wall of water down Blueders Creek into the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers. The flood claimed 18 lives and caused around $20 million damage. $$ Auto
