Storm Policy-

Sometimes storms arise quickly and we are unsure what to do. RGYL is setting this as our plan/policy if a thunderstorm occurs. We will follow the 30/30 rule.

If thunderstorms develop, count the seconds between the flash of lightning and the bang of the thunder to estimate the distance between you and the lightning strike. Because sound travels at approximately 1 mile in 5 seconds, you can determine how far away the lightning is by using this "flash-to-bang" method. It is recommended that you seek shelter if the time between the lightning flash and the rumble of thunder is 30 seconds or less (6 miles). Once inside shelter, you should not resume activities until 30 minutes after the last audible thunder.

OUR POLICY-

-All activity will be suspended at the sound of thunder.

-We advise everyone to seek shelter in a building or car.

-Play can resume after 30 minutes from the last sound of thunder

ENCKE/PREVOST- seek shelter in building by the pool or in car near by

RMP - get to cars in main parking lot

DITTMAR - get into cars in the parking lot

If play is suspended and restarted after the storm- it will only have the time allotted from the original game time of day. If there is no game immediately following then the game can be extended for the lost time.
