Title: The lightning delay...
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 06, 2015, 03:34:23 EDT
...On TV, they said that play must stopped when there is lightning within 8 miles.  But during the earlier game at UGA they also had lightning, and their threshold was 5 miles.  Is that a difference in state law, or what? :confused:

All I know was there was one crack of thunder 20-30 minutes after the teams left the field

On the phone there was a line that formed in the Mt Julliette area but if fizzled out long before it got to the stadium
It was much cooler after the delay, a bit more wind

The only rain of the day was a brief shower about 1 hour before the game
