He may have engaged in a bit of exaggeration for effect. Well, and there’s also the fact that Baum was setting that image up as a contrast to the merry and colorful fantasy land of Oz.

But I looked it up, and the Oz books were written between 1900 and 1920. Still, there had been such episodes before the 1930's, and that could be where his image of Kansas came from. What with modern irrigation and modern soil-preservation techniques, there hasn't been such a thing happen in your lifetime. Maybe that's why your image is different.
