Nothing to see, but plenty to hear!
The sad part was had it been set to launch 15 minutes later, I think we would have been able to see much more (or frankly anything). The sun started poking through the clouds at 11. But I guess SpaceX has bigger priorities than catering to the crowd.

Good spirits all around.Hanging around to hear the landing result.The vendor with SpaceX jacket is even passing out free SpaceX stickers.
It's hard to tell with that big ugly tree. Gross!(They appear to be oriented normally to me).
Did anybody notice the cows running away when the rumble started?
Ahah yes and now I also remember those car alarms.It is probably worth nothing that I have found the rumble itself not to be too loud, less that I expected (I saw people with earmuffs that were absolutely unnecessary) but what was special was maybe the low frequency of the noise that is not very common to be experienced in day to day life?
