Franca, Brazil
All photo credits mention Franca, though indeed these events reminiscent of the Great Depression Dust Bowl have been taking place thought central and southern Brazil.

Yes, San Fransisco from Berkeley, CA. From a trip to Cal in 2018.

Around the time, one of my former students was applying for a government job that required Q clearance, so the FBI wanted to interview me.

It felt very X Files.
