That being said, when science breaks down the metrics, at least one Oklahoma town cracked the top ten windiest cities with over 50k population, and that's the dead giveaway.

I ran across a dead thread on liberal Facebook--AKA--Reddit where people were talking in detail trying to rank the worst cities in the state. While you may not agree politically with your fellow statesmen, you really can't defend a lot of this. Here's the list for least worse to absolute worst as voted by them.
