Thinking of moving to beautiful Oklahoma

[Gideon]

Oklahoma is God's Country from Black Mesa to Beaver's Bend and anyone here saying otherwise is probably an infiltrator from Kansas.

"BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TORNADOES?!"

The Oklahoma weather is our best feature. It weeds out the non-hackers and weaklings, forces civic cooperation, and brings families and neighborhoods together in the constant battle for survival against Mother Nature.

"BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TORNADOES?!"

I have a friend who lives in Greeley, Colorado. He hates living in CO but won't go thru the hassle of moving. He said he would absolutely NOT move to Oklahoma because of the tornadoes.

Greeley is in Weld County. Guess which county in the US has more tornadoes than any other, and almost twice as many as the most tornado-prone Oklahoma county (Caddo)?

I'm fine with people outside of Oklahoma having a very negative opinion of the state. It's horrible. Don't come here. Definitely move to Arkansas or Missouri. Stay away from Oklahoma. You'll hate it.

Mosquitos are horrible. Couldn't stand to be outdoors yesterday evening.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Chiggers are my biggest problem.
I would love to live in CO, but it has joined the North East and West coast in politics and cost of living.

I have chigger love bites all over. I'd rather live in OK and deal with chiggers than live where I lived in Colorado and deal with idiots and liberals. Sorry for being redundant...

And by the way, we don't mind insulting/offending Texans. They generally deserve it.

After all, they are Texans.

You know why it’s so windy in Oklahoma?

Because Kansas blows and Texas sucks

I have kinfolk in Colorado, around Pueblo and Canon City.

They all curse the day the first Californian move into the state.

I don't understand why anyone hasn't mentioned Enid. Enid is just shy of 50,000 people and is surrounded by wide open spaces and farmland. Small towns within 20 to 30 miles of Enid supply you with the basics with the Saturday trip into town, you can stock up on anything you want. Okc is an hour and a half and Tulsa is about the same.

Enid is a medium sized town with a small town vibe and has one of the air force's pilot training bases. I see a lot of AF pilots talking about Enid on their podcasts. Enid has an old time town square where the county courthouse and sheriff's office are and it also has its' malls and shopping centers. It has a lot of parks and some have lakes with paddleboat rentals. I'm not up on it anymore but one even had a small zoo featuring a monkey cage that was huge.

Its major revenue comes from the AFB, farming, and oil production. If I had to move from OKC it would be to Enid.
