Since this launch is just after sunset, weather permitting and no scubs, it will be visable over a wide area, best views of powered stage of launch, Southern Nevada, Arizona, southeastern California.
Cheer the Delta IV on! her first west coast flight with a secret payload that are the eyes and ears of our nations defense in the high frontier. Another bird to watch the bad guys.

I'm high up in the Sierra Mountains and we've got a clear view to the south-west of the Central Valley about 5 minutes from my house. I think I'll drive over and hope it goes up. Do the winds usually die down in the evening there?
To: So Cal Rocket
Video shows the rocket really swaying in the wind... I don't think this puppy is going to go tonite

Payload?
Not sure
Top Secret, I would imagine, they are going to launch spook packages here as much as they can, most got launched from Canaveral before.. they get better polar orbit from here..
