They went all the way to space just to end up in Gulf Shores.

Does this make SpaceX trashy?

No boom in Youngsville but got a perfect view on the horizon of it coming in. The speed of that thing is insane.

One of the coolest things I have seen. Came from marsh which is SSW and moved across from right to left about 20 to 25 degrees from the horizon. Headed to eastern sky when it lost some of tail and color then disappeared. I took a video and will try to get in online. I’m in Cut Off.
