Nebraska Blow Wells on the Divide Between Loops
The Times reports that blow wells on the divide between the Middle and North Loops act as air shafts linked to river gravel. Winds drive outward or downward currents, sometimes lifting hats or drawing them into the tube. Depths reach 150 to 200 feet, with frost cases at 80 feet. Researchers suspect a river-connected gravel stratum provides both air and water passage.
