Thunder and lightning are connected. You can have thunder and not see lightning and see lightning and not hear thunder. Just know with either there is a potential for a lightning strike. Remember, lightning moves faster than thunder because light travels faster than sound.

There was a player killed here a few years ago struck by lightning. It was not raining, there had been some thunder in the distance when the player was struck in the outfield.

When there is a potential I appoint someone in game management to watch for lightning or better still if they have instruments that can detect lightning to immediately signal me upon detection. To protect yourself have two officials witness that appointment.
