Ugh... new storm popping up near the AFB and moving towards the pad. No lightning yet but the port is back under a Phase II warning.

Yeah I was just looking at that. It looks like the storms down over Port Canaveral will stay west of the pad, but it looks like there is also some more showers/thunderstorms out over the ocean that could rotate in over Merritt Island in the next hour or two...

We have movement!

Gigantic storm here at MCO. Quite a blackout, very heavy.
Listening to ATC outlook not good.

Looks like the shower near the port won't be getting any stronger so lightning should not be an issue for the pad.

Lightning walkdown expected to start at 330pm EDT / 1930 UTC.

There she is!

I bet she's thinking "Weather looks a bit iffy guys!!"

Hope the weather doesn't scare her too much.

Dark skies, but there's a shuttle pointing skywards for the last time.

Glorious!

May Fair Winds & Following Seas greet her tomorrow morning!
May the Almighty smile on her and part the clouds for her final journey heavenward!

Besides then I get to see her on the causeway!

If things go well, this should be the final RSS retraction in shuttle history.

I wish I was driving the RSS electic train cart (I say that all the time, but it's true

)

One bitchy lightning strike right above head shook the hell out of me.
Very scary!
