Population over time
2 figuresFallis fell from 27 to 21 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate, and an estimate published within five years of a census is left out. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.
| Year | People | Change |

| 2010 | 27 | |
| 2020 | 21 | -6 (-22%) |

Storms near this place
8 since 1994Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Fallis in 8 storm reports between 1994 and 2021: 4 hail, 1 lightning, 1 tornado, 1 thunderstorm wind. The reports record 4 injuries. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2013 | Tornado (EF3) | Fallis | 4 hurt | The large tornado continued to move northeast from Logan County into Lincoln County. The tornado passed just southeast of Fallis and then clipped the southeastern portion of Carney. It produced EF3 damage to a number of homes from just south of Carney into the southeast portion of the town. The tornado finally dissipated about 3 miles southeast of Tryon. Motions observed visually in this tornado suggest that the tornado was likely stronger then EF3 in western Lincoln County, but no damage indicators were available that would have supplied a rating higher than EF3 in this area. |
| June 2005 | Lightning | Fallis | $10,000 | An oil tank battery was struck by lightning and caught fire. |
| October 2018 | Thunderstorm Wind | Fallis | $3,000 | Siding removed from a house. Time estimated by radar. |
| May 2021 | Flash Flood | Fallis | - | Water nearly into houses, flooded yards and streets. |
| July 1994 | Hail | Fallis | - | Thunderstorms in central Oklahoma during the evening hours on the 12th resulted in hail up to quarter-size, damaging winds and damaging lightning. Thunderstorm winds ripped an awning from a downtown store and damaged a firework stand in Chandler. A lightning strike damaged light fixtures at a home 2 miles northwest of Warwick. |
