DP. I have a lot going on in my life, but the lightning rule at our pool is one of my top pet peeves. Ours does a 10 mile radius thing, so if a lightning strike is detected 9.9 miles away, the pool is closed for 30 minutes. It's a system required by insurance, but is absolutely not based on any sort of common sense, which is what annoys me most. [/quote]

So you would rather chance a lighting strike to, checks notes, swim for fun? Ok. [/quote]

Um. Your formulation is funny. But it's really stupid to keep closing a pool when I can see lightning strikes go from 1 mile to 3 miles to 6 miles to 9.9 miles away, and understand the trajectory. We do have more advanced tools at this point. But yeah, I get how the lazy, one size fits all scenarios, route is easier.[/quote]

Why is it so hard to just come back another time (or skip the pool when storms are forecast?)[/quote]
