Tornadoes/Severe Weather on Halloween??

[Larry J. Kosch]

Chances looks good for severe storms in the US this weekend with possibility of tornadoes on Friday. Anybody remember any Halloweens in the past that had to content with severe weather and/or tornadoes?

Edit: Just checked the SPC forecasts for this Halloween: No severe storms!! :lol:

I remember one year (don't remember which one, SDS you know... :lol: ) when we had such a bad ice storm that the Mayor of Lincoln NE decided to "postpone" Halloween for a couple of days.
Anybody coming up with anything?? Happy Spooky!! ccasion5:

Not exactly severe weather, but worth a mention... accumulating snows for the Front Range could hit Sunday night, which would equate to a Halloween snowstorm. Talks aren't really big on anything much right now, so I'd be winning to say a couple inches, but still, snow on Halloween, pretty cool none-the-less! 8) Oh yeah, and it would be the season's first snowfall!

About 20 tornadoes hit northwestern KS and southwestern NE on Halloween 2000....

Although it wasn't quite Halloween yet - five years ago tonight (10/29/1999) Norman was hit by damaging straight line winds that knocked power out in much of the city. Very memorable night for those of us living in the OU dorms - as our entire dorm had to be evacuated when someone started burning pizza boxes in their bathtub! :shock:
