Trust me I think it can happen again, In the last two years we have got less rain than the driest year during the dust bowl. I live in northeast New Mexico, third generation here, very close to the "center" of the dust bowl according to the history channel. Last year we didn't get any rain or moisture for over 11 months starting in Sept. ending in July. I remember my granddad always saying during the dust bowl there was nothing but dirt, no grass on the range land just dirt. This last summer when we actually started getting rain there were expanses in the range land that the grass died and did not return. So now you have what would normally be grass land a barren waste land. Something did eventually grow there and are now becoming a menace, Tumble weeds! Ranchers sold all the cattle off so there was nothing to keep them mowed down. With all of the cover now blown into the fence rows who knows? I can just see it now first the tumble weeds fill the fence then the dirt fallows and covers the fences, seen this as a child, a five wire fence covered in a matter of hours with the winds we get on the high plains. Things would already be blown away if we still farmed the way we used to. Luckily most farmland is now irrigated, but they are drawing our aquifer to depletion now.
