Always err on the side of caution! Lightning will probably only hit you once. If parents/players/coaches see it, look and you should see it also. If you are the only ump on the field, you may want to suspend and watch sky for 5 minutes or so. In our association, either umpire can suspend, and when 1 field suspends, all 6 stop also. It is then the field supervisor, and senior crew chief who decide to resume. As with most umpire decisions, whatever you call, someone will take exception, but lightning can zap any of us, respect it.
