I used to live in Titusville. The launches would shake things off of countertops, knock over picture frames, rattle windows, etc.. The night launches were so cool. The sky would light up bright as daylight, as if someone had turned on a giant light switch outside. I always thought it was so cool to watch the sky light up before they would finish the countdown and say 'ignition' on the TV due to the delayed signal.
