I don’t want anyone to misinterpret what I’m about to say because I take lighting very seriously. We had a storm today and the first indication was a flash/boom milliseconds apart. The sun was still shining and it was right on top of us! About two minutes later it came a down pour!
In our part of the country, we have “pop-up” thunder storms in late August and September that locally can be extreme – but they virtually do not move. At night, the thunder head and lightning can be seen from 40 or 50 miles away, but the likelihood of it reaching you from that distance is slim to none. I foresee many contests being suspended for no valid reason other than our exposure to liability. I’m no lawyer, but I feel we are much more open to a lawsuit, perhaps even if nothing catastrophic occurs at the game site. The fact we didn’t suspend the game could be grounds enough. I’m not sure I like the change.
