New Madrid Earthquake

New Madrid, Missouri, seems obsessed with the fault lines under its surface, but few residents in the area have insurance in case a big earthquake hits again. Plus: Some places in southwest Kansas may only have 25 years of water left. One proposal to help would take river water from near Kansas City and move it to western Kansas.

Poverty, job loss and high insurance costs have led to a lack of earthquake insurance in New Madrid, Missouri — a town with a big fault and bigger problems.
