Royal, the town this property stands in, in 29 storm reports between 1996 and 2022: 15 hail, 9 thunderstorm wind, 4 tornado, 1 heavy rain.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. 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.
The tornado developed about 2 miles east, and 6 miles south of the city of Royal. The tornado moved in a nearly due north fashion passing to the east of the city. The tornado impacted several farmsteads during the greater than 6 mile path. Outbuildings, trees and power line damage was common along the path of the tornado.
Rainfall of a little over 2 inches fell in less than 1 hour. The heavy rain reduced visibilities to near zero and caused some brief minor flooding in the area.
A storm spotter reported thunderstorm wind gusts estimated at 65 mph in Royal. The strong winds were accompanied by 1/2 inch hail. The winds caused tree damage in town.
The second Heavy Precipitation (HP) supercell to pass just north of Royal this night produced another short-lived small tornado that touched down in open country causing little or no damage.
