Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, when Lorraine is telling her children about the dance, she turned to George and said it was the same night as the terrible storm. At the courthouse, the storm was fierce - wind, thunder, and lightning. At the dance, however, it was a pleasant evening. No evidence of a storm whatsoever.

Correction: "Same night" doesn't mean "at the exact same time". The dance and the storm both happened the same evening.

Correction: The school is some distance away from the courthouse, and the storm simply hadn't arrived there yet.
