Lightning discussion

[chapmaja]

Ok, had this last night. We use the lightning is lightning, thunder is thunder rule. Last game of the night, 10pm starting time, so I'm under the lights. To the north I see the clouds lighting up a pretty yellow color. I don't see any bolts coming from the clouds, and I can't hear any thunder. DO I stop the game, which would have ended play for the night, or do I keep playing?


My decision was to keep playing after looking at the radar. The line of storms was moving due east roughly 45 miles north of the park we were playing at. I felt this was a safe distance and kept playing. Part of my reasoning was that if this was a day game, not under the lights, I would not see anything to cause the game to be delayed.

Was I correct in this decision?
