I wonder if we can see it from some of the high coastal mountains in NorCal. Maybe Fremont Peak near San Juan Bautista? Mount Umunhum near San Jose? Mount Madonna between Morgan Hill and Watsonville?

What about this? “Residents of Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties may see the launch when the rocket goes overhead.”

I don’t think they launch the rocket over those populated cities. Or do they?

Looks like it just goes over a small tip of land and they can self-destruct it early if there's a problem.

Polar orbit shot. The California coastline heads southeast so the rocket will be out over the ocean.
