I guess you did not live in the great plains area
during the tail end of the dust bowl years.
I did. In Minnesota.
Was not at all uncommon to have dust in the rain,
in this case it was usually a yellowish-brown rain.
One also needed, from time to time, place wet
towels along the window sills to try and keep the
dust out of the house ... when there was a dust
storm but no rain.
