I was about 7 miles west of the Pad looking due east. Big Storms out over
the Atlantic... but they must have been far enough away to meet launch
criteria...
pretty neat night.

Beautiful launch last night...

I'm really surprised to see the lightning.

So am I. The live coverage on NASA TV was nothing but clear sky, but it's
hard to see where Glen was located (and so, in which direction he was
looking). "Across the River" doesn't make much sense to me when I look at
the map.
