There were 3 strikes under 1/4mi from the pad but they weren't terribly powerful. There were two almost exactly 1/2mi that were VERY strong.
As Dave noted - there are still storms in the area. With sunset rapidly approaching, I'd expect them to clear for ops in an hour or so.

About 30 minutes to RSS retract on the schedule. Clearly that's not going to be on time.

Nothing from NASA on the expected RSS retract time.

Nothing from NASA on the expected RSS retract time.
Based on when these storms began, I estimate that they're at least 4-5 hours down on the timeline. So my estimate for RSS Rotation is around 0130-0230L.

Just got an update via L2, Ben. Now a 1pm start. ERB still checking lightning data from overnight.

By the way, the ERB are highly unlikely to see a problem (it would have been obvious via the ERB meeting last night), it's just due process.

Padrat just tweeted "Block valves are now open and we've cleared the pad".
