You're all right, it was a spectacular sight. I didn't think it would be visible because of the clouds and the distance since we are over 100 miles away from the KSC. I watched liftoff on television then stepped out my front door and after a couple of seconds the cloud cover opened and there it was. It rose majestically and made a left turn around the full moon (?) then back into the clouds. Why was it heading for New York? Maybe they needed to pick up some bagels.
Unfortunately, that may have been the last night launch for a long time.
