Field notes
DelayClock describes a stadium-by-stadium workflow built from NOAA’s geostationary lightning-mapper data rather than local detector feeds. Its rule is explicit: qualifying lightning inside an eight-mile circle starts a 30-minute hold, and each subsequent qualifying flash restarts the countdown. The page also preserves an important operational boundary, noting that stadium officials use more precise ground-based equipment and may report a different clock.
