      NEWS FLASH, November 1999—Who could have predicted that a storm the size of our Lone Star State would blow into these parts with such vengeance? Never has the town of Royal seen such theatrics as the thunder-‘n’-lightnin‘ show put on by good ole Mother Nature. Power lines knocked out...roads aplenty closed down.
