Thunderbalk?

Thunder at Texas.

Someone asked me because I broadcast high school games (like THAT makes me an expert on OBR rules) a few questions about the thunder blast at the Texas game.

1. Did the pitcher balk?

2. Was time called? If not could R1 have been picked off?

3. Is there ever a time when time is not needed to be called, just implied? This situation, the 1988 earthquake had it happened during a play, etc.?

I don't think the pitcher balked, but on the others I have no idea, so I defer to you folks. Thanks.
