I haven't written the time down in the past, but I sure as heck intend to in the future. Thanks for a simple and helpful suggestion.
I guess I had sports on the brain and was trying to figure out a sports org with that abbreviation. Just curious ... did NOAA really say something about when sports events should continue after lightning is seen? Seems odd, but OK.

I doubt, however, that they have said people should go by 30-minutes and not use a lightning meter - which is where my beef with the "30-minute rule" comes from.
