What do I do if there's lightning and we're outdoors?

If you observe lightning, you should first determine if the lightning is within 6 miles of the field (if the thunder follows the lightning by less than 30 seconds).

If lightning is less than 6 miles away, stop your games, clear the field and tell the players to find a safe place to wait. 

Games can resume 30 minutes after the last lightning is seen. Any additional lightning restarts the 30 minute clock.
