Living in Florida lightning is taken very seriously.  All of our city/county parks have lightning detectors. When they go off clear the fields.  No one allowed back until the all clear sounds.

I've seen fields cleared under sunny skies and not cleared under dark skies!

Lightning can easily strike up to a half hour before "the storm" gets to you and up to a half hour after it passes.I

Obviously, better safe than sorry.

See it, hear it, kill it.

I am not OK with some of the things that organizations are trying to do with their lightning policies.

Looked for more details on this incident, but haven’t found much.  Just one story that said a previous game in the day had been suspended.
