Don't have a dog any more, but have put back the sign!
Dog Gone!

If it had been the right dog, trespassers wouldn't have a leg to stand on either.

I can't wait for the 1st Whiner's Club meeting. IF the OP is fairly new here he/she wouldn't know that our weather is governed by the sea breezes from both sides of the peninsula. Also we're the "lightening capital". I think I've heard "IF" you hear thunder it can be as far away as 10 miles (maybe it's more). With it is lightening. The entertainment has electrical components to it. I heard lightening last night. It sounded like it was to the west. The other day---the same thing but then the sounds of it moved and soon was to the east. I don't know about the technology that was spoken of here. I think the "weatherman" here probably has MORE training then the armchair one's. I'd vote on the side of safety (which is employing wisdom), We have 365 days in our year so an evening here and there of "no entertainment" isn't going to hurt anyone.

Weather is an act of nature, and can turn on a dime. Florida is the lightening capital of the country, I'd rather be safe than sorry. So a few nights out of the year they have to cancel. What's the big deal?

There was lightning in the area, now we can argue over what constitutes area?

Whoa. Get a grip on yourself. Fire someone from their job because you missed your entertainment? I don’t think so.

As far as the eye can see if you do not wear glasses unless of course it is foggy and than a new set of rules will apply.

If that's true it's something new. I played in the squares a few years ago and got canceled once and we got nothing.
