    Quote from the news:-

    Endeavour had been scheduled for liftoff Saturday night, but a severe lightning storm at the pad Friday raised concerns that some critical systems might have been damaged. Lightning struck 11 times near the pad.

    The launch has been delayed again until tomorrow as thunderstorms are within 10 nautical miles
