It depends, usually if I've gotten started, I continue, but if I've been smart and checked the weather.gov site, I may wait, or I may realize that I'd better get booking before the real weather hits.
A few weeks ago, when I rode home, there was lightning on 3 sides of me, (no rain, strangely) and as I got near home, the tornado alarms began wailing. Maybe I should have waited, but it was relatively quiet when I left work.
Sites like weather.gov are such a blessing to bicyclists.
