Ugh. I just got through walking my dog. It's miserable.

What about the one in the 90's that wiped out Jarrell TX?

A list of the top 10 worst tornadoes in Texas history Just found this on NOAA, Waco 1953 is in fact number 1. I have tornadoes on the brain from thinking about those poor people up in OK.

San Antonio: Tex-Mex to the max. IE: Tejano country.
Poor, poor and MORE poor. Blue collar, poor, and did I mention poor????
Oh wait, great freeway system frequented by poor people.

Austin: Uptight communist weirdos.
Truly the arrogance of Texas. The only major city in Texas that can't back up ANY of it's claims. The "greenest" capital city in the country leading the dirtiest state in the nation.

Dallas: Perfect mix of evangelicals, hipsters, and ethnic diversity.
The shining star of Texas. More things to do, miles and miles of nothing but posh, high end, highly educated people..top school districts in the state,fantastic freeway system, great city planning for decades, top business destination...the list goes ON AND ON!!!!

Houston: I agree with the OP on Houston.
The largest, most powerful business city in the state (probably the top 5 cities in the country). Also many nice suburbs, but overall more blue collar than big D. Great freeway system which is constantly being updated. More humid and way more buggy than the rest of the state.

Fort Worth: They live up to the Texas culture stereotype. Rodeos, stockyards, cowboys,etc.[/quote]
Dallas is only 30 short minutes away!!

No, not Steiner Ranch. Avery Ranch. Big difference.

I find this hilarious though:

Steiner Ranch is located just on the edge of hillbilly country. It is quite hilly. Avery Ranch is further away and mostly flat. Check your facts about all of the billionares living in Dallas and more households with 250K or more than any other TX city. These are all facts. Does Dallas have poor people. HELL YA,,, but they are all south and I never go there.

No, I only speak the truth that the "Peoples Republic of Austin" doesn't want you to know.
