Wichita Falls

Both MonkeyMan and I are from a small town in north Texas called Wichita Falls. We both moved away from there a long time ago, thank God. I thought I would show you around a bit so that YOU too could see what a hell hole it was.

Wichita Falls is named after the Wichita Indians that lived in the area, prior to us killing them all, and a large Waterfall that used to be in the area, prior to it washing away in 1886. Well since the waterfall is long since gone, the city constructed a fake waterfall years ago that sucks up red muddy water from the near by river and pipes it out for the people driving by on the highway to see.

What a piece of shit huh?

At one point in the distant past Wichita Falls was a boomtown because a vast oil field was discovered just north of town in Burkburnett. Then even made a movie about it.

On April 10, 1979 we got lucky and had one of the biggest tornados in recorded history hit town. Unfortunately they rebuilt it.

The Wichita Falls tornado stayed on the ground an hour and traveled 47 miles as it wiped out a fifth of the city and damaged even more areas before dissipating in Oklahoma. It is rated an F4, with winds from 207-260 mph.

Wichita Falls has become a crime ridden city and in 2003 ranked 59th in the nation out of 400 cities on the violent crime index. Yeah!


So, if you ever see this sign...turn the fuck around and go somewhere else.
