Wichita Falls The Misplaced City

[Majichands]

When I Search it on here It shows up all over the place from OKC,, Dallas and North East Texas? I think it shows up in West Texas too not that West Texas needs another City on it's long list of cities with not even 1 side forum.



Wichita Falls and Beaumont Texas are the 2 most misplaced cities on this board.
6 1/2 hrs from each other but hell El Paso id damn near 7 hrs from Amarillo and they are both considered just West Texas.. lol

Also.....The falls in Wichita Falls are not very impressive.

Wichita Falls is a shithole.

Only good enough for stopping to get gas, a quick bite and back on the road. Beyond that, you're not missing a damn thing there.

plus it gets hotter there than most places in northern half of texas.

when dallas had a string of 70+ days of 100+degree temps back in 1980, WF had way more hotter days.

how come those falls dont help cool things down up there??

just did a fact check.. 42 days in a row of 100 degrees in 1980 (in DFW), including EVERY DAY in July. when I think that tomorrow has a high of 92, I want to get out the electric blanket!

69 total 100 degree days in 1980.. bested by 2 days in 2011 (71 total)

1973 experienced a complete shut out.

heh heh, he said "69 total" !!! :^}

hey, it's been almost 40 yrs since that heat wave ended. so i missed it by a coupla days... and i was talking about total # of days, nit consecutive.

stil WF had mire hotter days than dfw airport.

I've heard that the rains in Spain fall mainly on the plains.

There is a reason they call their 100 mile bicycle race the Hotter Than Hell 100. Cyclists from all over the world enter. Tough 1 day event.
General Chung, thank you for the Utube link.

When I was younger and reckless, and thought I was made of steel, I wanted to run one of these races.

Glad I never did, looking back in hindsight. I might not be here today otherwise.
