Fans Enjoy Fenway Rain Delay as Mets-Sox Suspended

How heavy was the rain storm up in Fenway Park in Boston on Friday night?

Well, it was so heavy that it appeared that parts of the 112 year old stadium was flooding. Yeah, seriously.

Mets and Red Sox fans were seen turning the concessions area into their own personal water park. There was even footage of water pouring down the staircase as fans tried to duck for cover from the storm.

The Mets led the game 4-3 in the fourth inning thanks to a Daniel Voglebach two-run homer to right when the rains started pouring in Beantown. The game was suspended officially just after 10 p.m., and will resume on Saturday at 2:10 p.m.

Kodai Senga got the start for the Mets on Friday and gave up three runs on three hits over 3.1 innings of work.

Voglebach and Brandon Nimmo provided the pop as both left-handed hitters corked two-run homers.

Thunderstorms can be both fascinating and scary, with their electrifying displays of lightning and booming thunder. However, not everyone knows that there are certain things you're not supposed to do when there’s a thunderstorm.

During the summer months, thunderstorms occur frequently due to the high humidity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 73 percent of lightning-related fatalities occur in June, July, and August. According to the National Weather Service, an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, atmospheric instability, and a triggering mechanism are the conditions that lead to thunderstorms. When these elements are combined, they can unleash a powerful symphony of heavy rainfall, thunder, lightning, strong winds, and even hail.

The American Red Cross has some advice on how to get ready for those wild summer thunderstorms. Taking preventive measures like subscribing to local government emergency alerts, equipping your home with backup batteries, and devising a family plan for hazardous weather situations can all prove invaluable during emergencies.

When it comes to thunderstorms, there are plenty of myths and misconceptions about what you should avoid doing. One of the most common misconceptions is that wearing rubber-soled shoes or being inside a car with rubber tires makes us immune to lightning strikes. Unfortunately, this couldn't be further from the truth. Lightning can still travel through the ground or the metal frame of a car, even if it has rubber tires.

Many people believe that as long as they're not directly under the storm cloud, they are safe from lightning strikes. However, lightning bolts can extend horizontally for significant distances, reaching as far as 10 miles away from the storm. And also keep in mind that trees, especially tall ones, are prime targets for lightning strikes due to their height and conductivity.

Along with getting prepared and knowing thunderstorm myths, you have to know what not to do during a thunderstorm.

Here are 5 things you should never do during a thunderstorm.
