That afternoon, though, the wind picked up, and the rains came, and when a tornado watch was issued, city officials canceled trick-or-treating.

The first tornado watch was issued at 2:45 p.m.

As the hurricane's outer rainbands approached the state, a tornado watch was put into effect for central portions of the state.

A tornado watch must not be confused with a tornado warning.

In light of the increased tornado threat, the first tornado watch was issued around 1:00 p.m.
