Have you ever thought about where you’d go to live out your final days when the world comes to an end? Well, as Davy Crockett said, I’d definitely be heading to Texas. We have some of the best places to ensure your last moments play out safely and peacefully. Here are the 10 cities we feel are best prepared for doomsday.
- Houston
Flickr/polymerchemist Hellooooo, the largest domed stadium in the WORLD is located here! I’d say it can hold quite a few people.
- Dallas
Flickr/sgotterbarn Surprisingly, Dallas has been rated the most “bible-minded” city in the state. That means it’s a good place to go to extol all of your sins and hope to be among the first saved when the almighty wrath is unleashed upon us.
- Galveston
Flickr/barclaynix You’re gonna want to be near the water to better your chances of escaping and spending your final moments in peace instead of among the crazed humans fighting each other on the mainland.
- Jasper
Flickr/barclaynix If you absolutely can’t make it to a waterfront city on time, the Big Thicket is your next best bet. The trees should disguise you just fine, and most of us Texans own at least one camouflage clothing item to blend in with the foliage even more.
- Mentone
Flickr/auvet Mentone, ironically located in Loving County, is home to the most gun dealers per capita in Texas, with one dealer for every 86 residents or 1,162 dealers per 100,000 residents. You won’t ever have to worry about a shortage of weapons to defend yourself!
- Salt Flat
Flickr/satterwhiteb Running away to the mountains is a surefire way to make sure nobody will find you. But not Big Bend - it’s too close to the border, a place that’s already violent without the world ending. Go to the Guadalupe Mountains instead.
- San Antonio
YouTube/adamthewoo There’s actually an entire subdivision of homes here that were mysteriously abandoned before ever having been lived in. If you’re lucky, you can snag one of them and spend your final days in comfort.
- Fort Davis
Flickr/cvreeland Or you can post yourself up at an old military fort and use it just like it was used many years ago - to defend yourself against any unwanted attackers that should come your way.
- Sonora
Flickr/amyashcraft Sonora was only fitting to add to the list considering some of the biggest caves in the country are located here. Nobody will ever find you with all the different corridors and shafts there are to hide in.
- Alpine
Flickr/freyapix Everyone will be flocking to the big cities because they have the most resources, so you’re better off in a small town where very few people will think to go. Alpine is perfect - it’s quaint and has everything you need to live out your final days in peace.
What town would you go to if the world was ending right now?
