Right up there with Austin. Good deal.. we should expect no less. :P

Its awesome for Oklahoma to have it's two metro areas in the top 10, with Tulsa at #6. Its even more impressive for the Carolinas to have three metros in the top 10. I have no idea how close or how these metros interact with each other. I could google it but does anyone have any first hand knowledge. If they are near the distance of Tulsa to OKC or closer, that would really be impressive.

But in any case good position for the state. I hope there can be some positive synergies effected from this reality, not the usual posturing between cities.
