Unfortunately, there were clouds blocking the view until it got several miles up.

Next Tuesday the Falcon Heavy is scheduled for its first launch. Triple the size of the Falcon 9.

On this web site be sure to view the 2-3 minute animation, which is extremely well done. Demonstrating the awesome capability and technology being used. (right side about middle of page).
