Apparently people have been frustrated and the same number of people apparently bought 3-4X the normal amount of fireworks this year. Then they started 4-5 hours earlier than they usually do. Drives my dog crazy. I could do with out them. Bahhhhh Humbug.

THANK GOD - it rained here yesterday, and today! Otherwise these morons would have set a large piece of real estate on fire! It's been drier than a popcorn fart around here - all year ! God is watching over us. Idiots don't care.
PS, I love fireworks - probably more than most, Use discretion, though !

Kids next door were having a pretty good time tonight with some Roman candles and sparklers. Somebody in the desert right across from the house had some considerably bigger artillery. On the other side of town the real stuff was putting on quite a show to the south. And one of my neighbors let out quite few volleys with a handgun about a block over.
A tremendous amount of fireworks being shot off here in Boise. Every Fourth there are a lot of fireworks here but I've never seen, nor heard so many. It will go on here well after midnight, too. I think a lot of people are saying "screw you," to all the Marxist inspired ANTIFA/BLM loonies who attack the founding of our country and our Founding Fathers.

fireworks sales in my area were reportedly up 300%, lots more noise than usual. Thankfully an 11:30 restriction was for the most part observed and things quieted down after that. Expect the leftovers to get shot off tonight.
They were going off all over around me, and given that I'm out in the country with a lot of Mennonite neighbors, who don't use them, there must have been some people who spent hundreds of dollars on them. It sounded like a war zone for a few hours, and they were still going off after I went to bed at 10.
I haven't bought fireworks since I was a kid but for some reason it seemed like the thing to do this year. I don't know if it was the frustration with the BS or the new place but we spent a couple hundred bucks on fireworks. Had the neighbors over and stayed up late chatting.

I've never heard so many mortars go off as much as last night. Highly illegal here, but somebody sure as hell smuggled in tons of em. Californians all over the state gave a giant middle finger last night to Gov. Newsome and his "shut down and socially distance" decree. This was Sacramento last night. LA was just as bad (good).
Fireworks are supposedly banned in our subdivision by the HOA, but that didn't stop somebody from setting off some seriously big artillery. Shoulda heard the Karens and Kens crying on the Next Door social media site....I love it when libs get all in a tizzy around here!
The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.
My brother's subdivision in East Helena is where I usually enjoy my Independence Day festivities. His neighbor owns a local restaurant/casino, and does quite well. The family spend somewhere between six and ten thousand dollars on fireworks every year. I'd say the whole subdivision spends 150-200k every year. Last night was like a trench in France, 1917. I started getting shellshocked about 11pm, after several hours of bombardment. Shells going off everywhere constantly. Pretty cool to see for some hours but a bit too much. Some of the neighborhood dogs take some weeks to recover. I did yearn for a chain gun or some artillery listening to it all. No joggers or nignogs or pinkos or black-clad mask wearers within some miles, I'm sure.
