Okay, so now you change your story. Ten seconds equates to approximately two miles, so the lightning was still well within the danger zone. It would still be idiotic to expose players to that level of danger.



Open structures like pavillions and dugouts are, accoring to NOAA, among the worst areas to seek shelter from lightning.



Incomprehensible.
Nope, I never changed my story. You just misinterpreted it. In my post I mentioned that dugouts do not offer protection from lightning, so you're not telling us anything new there.
