And boy, all of the stores are packed today here in Florida with folks buying storm supplies today.

Looks like they are now planning for a rollback. That should delay launch date!

From SpaceNews.com:
"WASHINGTON — NASA will move the Space Launch System rocket from its launch pad back the Vehicle Assembly Building as a precaution for an approaching hurricane, a decision that may delay the Artemis 1 mission until November."
