Man, the (illegal) fireworks were loud and abundant this year. I starting hearing loud explosions in the downtown area around 6 p.m. and saw a number of aerial displays on north side of town on the way home. Several groups apparently did not have suitable places to shoot them off around their house as they had set up their boomies in the street. I heard some fireworks shot off were powerful enough to shatter a window over on Rawlings. Apparently there was no concern by the celebrants regarding the fact that the city has only had an inch of rain in the past two month. I did hear the sirens of several emergency vehicles but no reports of any fires, thank goodness.
Last year, I remember driving home through a haze of smoke but fewer aerial displays. This year, more displays but less neighborhood smoke.
