Pay attention to local weather broadcasts. You may also want to visit the National Weather Service website (see the link below) to see what weather alerts are in your area. You need not worry too much, as a slight risk from the storm prediction center does not mean there is an immediate threat.
If severe weather does move into your area, see if you have a battery operated weather radio as severe storms can cause power outages.
In assessing the risk of severe storms the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has three general risk levels: SLGT (slight), MDT (moderate), and HIGH.A location within a region that is under a slight risk has at least a 15% chance of having a severe thunderstorm come within 25 miles or a 10% or greater chance of a tornado coming within 25 miles.A severe thunderstorm is a thunderstorm that produces at least one of the following:Winds to at least 58 mphHail to 1 inch diameter or greaterA tornado
Not necessarily, as school has been in session in areas under a high-risk outlook. However, the decision would be up to the school district, as cancellation policies differ.
In assessing the risk of severe storms the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has three general risk levels: SLGT (slight), MDT (moderate), and HIGH.A location within a region that is under a moderate risk has at least a 45% chance of having a severe thunderstorm come within 25 miles or a 15% or greater chance of a tornado coming within 25 miles. This usually indicates a significant severe weather event will take place.A severe thunderstorm is a thunderstorm that produces at least one of the following:Winds to at least 58 mphHail to 1 inch diameter or greaterA tornado

Magnetic Storms have a severe affect on our technological and electrical infrastructure, both in space and on the ground. Usually Earth's magnetic field, generated by the dynamo under earth's lithosphere, protects us from magnetic disturbances, but severe magnetic storms have in the past knocked out power grids in the entire province of Quebec. Magnetic Storms would have a severe effect, and would likely, en masse, shut down large amounts of current human grids and technological infrastructure, as concluded by the National Academy of Sciences.
Keep an eye out for severe storms and take a look at what the text says. If see text appears without any slight, moderate or high risk then your chances of seeing a severe thunderstorm are small. or the forecast models disagree on how much risk there is.

It is too early to tell for sure as not outlook as yet been issued for that date. The Storm Prediction Center notes that a slight risk outlook may be issued. But consideration of a moderate risk outlook requires a level of confidence not possible with out current forecasting abilities.

No. South Park, Colorado is a fictitious town.
The child is scared of the dark, so she sleeps with a nightlight on. Our dog is scared of thunder and likes to hide under the bed during storms.
Given the large area under a 30% level of risk, a moderate risk cannot be ruled out. High risk outlooks are extremely rare in October. Only 3 have been issued in the past 30 years.
If a moderate risk of severe storms is issued for your area you should be on alert for any severe thunderstorm or tornado warnings. For these purposes you may tune into the TV or radio or check out the National Weather Service web site (link below). It is also a good idea to keep a battery operated weather radio handy as severe thunderstorms and tornadoes can cause power outages.
