Will Sandy Ruin Halloween?
Township officials said they have no authority over trick-or-treating.
We know Hurricane Sandy will bring lots of water and wind damage to the area but how will it impact Halloween?
The worst of the storm should pass by Tuesday -- one day before Halloween -- however, downed trees and widespread power outages may make trick-or-treating, well, tricky.
Newtown Township Board of Supervisors Chairman Mike Gallagher said Newtown Township does not have authority over when children trick-or-treat. He said it would be up to the parents to decide whether or not to send their children out.
