Would it ever be worth it to move launches to Hawaii or Guam?

You do gain a little bit of orbital velocity on those compared to Florida, but it's fairly minor. I think the biggest reason why you don't see any launches out there is that it'd be a major PITA to get the rockets themselves out there.

As of Friday morning, the 45th Space Wing, an arm of the US military that oversees all East Coat rocket launches, predicts about a 50% chance of the weather holding up enough for launch on Saturday. And the odds are slightly better — about a 60% chance — for the next opportunity for liftoff on Sunday, May 31, at 3:00 p.m. ET.

They weren't messing around with this one. (Fast forward to 0:30 for the boom.)
Gonna be a bit before they'll be testing again, I'd guess. The test pad looks to be pretty much destroyed. |

That's a successful test. It's what tests are for.

Yes. The SN4 explosion was in Texas, the launch tomorrow (or Sunday) is in Florida.
