What to do in case of lightning?
Always use the 30/30 rule.
Some schools have lightning detectors that go off when there is lightning.
If the detector gives the ok signal 15 minutes later, you still have to wait for 30 minutes.
Some coaches might argue that the storm is 30 miles away, and that you can start the game.

And if lightning is detected 25 minutes later, you have to wait another 30 minutes.
