Default 10 Seconds to Launch

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.
Glen in Orlando

Very cool shot!

I'm surprised that they launched with that lightning, even if it was
far away. Lightning can easily travel 30+ miles horizontally,
especially it if comes off the top of the cloud.

Constructive criticism always welcome.
