    I figured it had been scrubbed with SpaceX posting on YouTube a 47:50 minute video of Mission Control audio saying nothing.

    Successful launch, landing, and no attempt at catching a fairing because of weather. They will still pull them out of the ocean though.

    Milestone 100th successful launch: 98 F9's and 2 F1's.
    63rd recovery of an orbital class booster.
    43 times they have re-flown a previously flown booster. They are heading quickly toward 50% of all boosters having been reflown. The incredible cost savings and why SpaceX is now the world leader in orbital launches.
