I'm stunned. No fireworks heard here

Heard a couple blasts this afternoon. Nothing tonight. Never have seen this before, but it’s bone dry here and apparently people are acting responsibly.

1. Where is "here"?

Its still going good in the pacific northwest of Calif.

Real smart in a fire hazard area.

Too many awhole rednecks/tRUMPers

2. PNW Portland area. I was in Portland most of the day

but I live across the river in WA. They closed sales this year, usually in WA it’s out of control.

3. Lucky you.

I'm in Santa Fe, NM, where serious drought conditions are in effect. Lots and lots of fireworks. I called the police twice, and was assured they are out there, but none over them ever showed up in my neighborhood. I'm beyond sick and tired of this. I wish I could bring immediate consequences on the ignoramuses who are shooting off fireworks.

4. Hasn't been as bad in prior years, but still hearing a bit of them...

just south of Seattle

5. Why do they hate America?

hahaha
Sorry, I get caught up in the Phantom Fireworks commercial here.
Indeed, The main city here has North America's largest stockpile of fireworks.

*boom*
Made me jump.

6. Shock and Awe here in Florida, but it's been raining for over a week so little danger of fire.

Still, I'm getting really tired of imbeciles feeling the need to blow shit up every holiday. Tomorrow the local news will be full of reports about these fireworks fools losing eyes and fingers.

9. Up here in rural North Florida

The nights have sounded like the battle of the Somme Friday, Saturday and last night. I have heard a lot of money going up in smoke.
With the combination of explosives, incendiaries, and copious amounts of alcohol, what could possibly go wrong?

7. Lucky you. Going on five hours, despite ordinances banning.

Trying to sleep with a very hot panting dog---who had never been especially disturbed by noise in the past...

What is the thrill of going through neighborhoods or condo/apartment complexes and throwing loud fireworks outside someone's window? I'm getting increasingly annoyed.

8. Meanwhile, in Tacoma, it was like a war zone last night.

Someone shooting off aerial fireworks on every block. Looking at the horizon of Tacoma there were 10 - 20 star shells going off *constantly* from about 10pm to midnight.

Even though it's urban, there are plenty of patches of vegetation to set on fire.

10. It was less than usual here

I’m in Grand Rapids MI.

I think there were a lot less this year. Costs went up so that might be part of it. But I also think that people posting in Nextdoor or FB about how terrible fireworks are fir their pets and loved ones with PTSD has made a difference.

11. Fireworks till 11pm last night

Shot off by neighborhood people.

I had a pounding migraine and my dog was sequestered in the kitchen.

I hope they don't do it again tonight.
