I've discovered that people will even go trick-or-treating on this particular street as a tornado siren blares--it happened year before last. It won't stop them. The parents (if you warn them and the sirens warn them and the news warns them, and the wind is picking up) don't care. They're taking the kids if it kills them.

Around here, if you're on a particular road it counts as the city, and you get a lot of kids. If you're a handful of streets over, it counts as outside the city (when it isn't; it's actually in a busy spot) and nobody shows up.

(Never handed out candy in costume--since it's a toss of the coin if kids show up each year, I would dress up for nothing if they didn't.)
