Well, it wasn't quite my point that I had to look it up, I knew exactly what it was. It was a blowhard trying to bigtime me that he was a high school varsity assistant and he knew the policy and I was wrong to shut that game down because I only *heard* thunder. So, rather than getting into it with him, I just pulled it out and essentially said without saying "here ya go, big fella".

No need for the weatherbug app, our state is simple and easy: you see lightning or hear thunder, no matter the distance, 30 min delay. And the clock restarts every single strike seen or thunder heard. Period.
