Is T-0 the exact same as it was scheduled on February 6--down to the second?

I was under the impression that even for a polar orbit SpaceX had to dog-leg around the Miami metropolitan rather than a direct overflight. Seems problematic. This flight path from NASA LSP is inconsistent with the one posted previously in this thread? Perhaps they are overgeneralizing?
Previous post from OneSpeed along with his interpretation.
It may look risky, but due to the dog-leg turn, the impact point for any failure at any time is going to be out in the ocean. It may be that with experience they now feel comfortable letting the instantaneous impact point hug closer to the coast.
Or perhaps the line is drawn incorrectly.

I'm going with the last statement

This is why I repeatedly mention that the FAA ATCSCC Current Operations Plan Advisory is just advisory. Even though SpaceX and NASA are posting that launch is upcoming shortly, the COPA shows it as postponed another day.

I agree.
Reminds me of the ISRO mission control map during a Sriharikota launch into SSO. Does the flightpath pass over Sri Lanka or not? The island doesn't appear on their map.
I
assume no overflight, else why why dogleg at all?
Anyways it's not on-topic here; back to
PACE.

As we mentioned on the NSF stream and as they just said on the NASA stream, the T0 moved 4 seconds into the window to 1:33:36AM EST (06:33:36 UTC). If I were to guess, this is to adjust for COLAs

T-35 minutes. First stage LOX loading and first and second stage RP-1 loading should be starting about now.
Launch autosequence has started.

For members just now joining us, the correct trajectory map is attached.
