I grew up just across the river from Cape Canaveral (Titusville). The one thing we never missed were the launches. From 1971 to 1985 I sat at the rivers edge waiting for lift off. Could be we listened to you while waiting. I remember the last two Saturn V launches (Apollo 17 and the Skylab mission). Nothing matched the majesty of the Saturn V taking off. All of our neighbors worked at the Cape. It was, and still is a big part of life down there.
