In most of the places I umpire, there is some sort of field administration. For liability purposes, I'm very reluctant to be the one making the decision to keep playing if the reason for quitting was lightning. Field admin tells us when to go back. I think the 30-minute rule is faulty, by the way. Fields should have lightning meters to measure how far things are away.
