You are at practice, it starts to rain, and you hear thunder, but do not see lightning. What do you do? What are considered safe shelters?
Continue to monitor the weather and continue to practice until you see lightning. At that point, start doing a flash-to-bang ratio. Flash to bang: count the seconds between seeing lightning and hearing thunder. 5 seconds for 1 mile. NCAA policy is 30 seconds or 6 miles. We highly recommend 50 seconds or 10 miles to account for clean up time or adequate transportation time to a safe shelter. Safe shelters are not: dug outs, metal benches or bleachers, over hangs or awnings, bench shelters. No other choice: vehicles. Prefer: buildings
