Lightning/Thunder Delay

[Altor]

We have this issue with track and field meets too. We tell them that "The track will open back up 30 minutes after the last strike" and they hear "We will start the next race 30 minutes after the last strike." So, of course, we have people jogging around the track to warm back up when there are still 10 minutes left on the clock...even while the announcer continues to tell them that the track is not yet open, please go back to your sheltered area.

I've never been the referee when this has happened, but I'd be tempted to start ejecting people for failure to follow the directions of an official. Don't know if baseball rules give umpires similar authority or not.
