Due to Hurricane Ian’s expected path, NASA is going to roll the rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building to protect it from the weather.
A November launch is now projected.

Good thing they did roll it back into the VAB. Ian is hitting Florida pretty hard today, especially on the west coast. Here in South Florida we've gotten 4-6 inches of rain overnight with more to come.
