In Ohio in every outdoor sport's pre-season manual we get 2 pages of "advice" on handling inclement weather. But at every State Rules meeting we are told, if you hear thunder or see lightning, get the field cleared for 30 minutes after the last sign of lightning. They powers in Columbus have said they will back any official in any sport that suspends or cancels a contest as a result of hearing thunder or seeing lightning. I will and have not hesitated in pulling teams off the field. I don't do thunderstorms very well
