April 14, 1935, was the worst day of the 1930s drought. It was Palm Sunday. The day began as a beautiful day with the sun shining; by noon the weather changed. Robert Geiger was traveling through Guymon, Oklahoma when a large black cloud from the north darkened the sky. Temperatures dropped 40 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius) within an hour. In the middle of the day people had to use flashlights to get from place to place. The earth being so dry and no crops or grass to hold dirt down stirred and became the worse dust storm in United States' history. Geiger in writing his article for the Associated Press about the storm coined the phrase "Dust Bowl." Within hours, the press repeated the coined phrase nationally and internationally.
