From a practical standpoint, you are probably correct. But by rule, it MIGHT not happen.
I can't believe the three groups couldn't reach agreement on lightning anyway. That one should be pretty simple.
For us, it's easy. If the Thorguard goes off, we stop. We don't restart until it blows clear. From the GHSA Constitution:
Suspended and/or Terminated Games - When game officials suspend a game due to weather issues,
the following procedures are in place:
(1) For all Baseball, Softball, Football and Soccer contests involving teams of different classifications,
there will be up to a two-hour delay (cumulative) before the contest will be terminated. (See the
Baseball and Softball Sections to see the procedures involved with terminated games.)
(a) If the Football or Soccer contest is terminated before it has reached the halfway point, the contest
is declared a “no contest.”
(b) If the Football or Soccer contest is terminated after it has reached the halfway point, the score
at the point of termination is final.
(2) For Football, Lacrosse and Soccer contests involving teams of the same classification, all contests
will be played to completion.
(a) There will be no mandatory two-hour delay.
(b) The 11:30 curfew will be waived.
(c) Administrators from the competing schools may agree to terminate the contest and resume
competition at the point of interruption at a later time.
(d) The team that is behind may choose not to resume the contest at a later date.
