Not sure you saw this. A few days old but still awe inspiring. Thoughts?

There are some rather massive old salt mines and salt deposits under parts of KS. Maybe one of these collapsed. That is a massive sinkhole.

Hey, maybe it’s an after effect of the Big Dig in Boston.

Isn’t that an area where there are a lot of aquifers. Maybe one dried up.
