Yes, lightning is a scary and dangerous thing. And I've seen many documentaries about lightning.

What I don't get is how things have changed. From my youth, I've heard thunder and have never seen a bit of lightning on a regular basis. A "thunderstorm" and an "electrical storm" were not synonymous. However, we are now being told, if you hear thunder, there must be lightning. Hmmm.

Not exactly sure what your point is Mike, but I am going to ask you point blank:

You are the UIC at a major tournament. You see the flash, you hear the sound, but you don't pull the trigger. But a junior umpire pulls the players from the field. The other 4 fields are still playing.

What's the call?
What's the future of the junior umpire based on this single action?
