Kansas: Land of Sinkholes?

If you aks someone to name natural disasters in Kansas, most people will talk about tornadoes... or maybe the Flood of '51 or '93. You're not likely to hear many Kansans mention sinkholes. And yet, as Commentator Rex Buchanan tells us... sinkholes are far more common across the state than you might think.
