LOL, OK is not the “dust bowl” of yesteryear anymore. In the early to mid-fifties, it started dredging its rivers and built several large beautiful man-made lakes … complete with dams and islands 🙂
Not ALL of the “bible belt” is in the middle of the plains or desert. The aerial view of Tulsa in the fall is gorgeous as it is heavily treed all throughout the city as well as around its beautiful surrounding lakes.
I know that. I was just commenting on the reversal of old migration patterns. If anything, inner/Southern California has become somewhat of an (economic, if not literal) dustbowl right now.
