It sounds like WWII is being fought outside my house

Of course, I live 5 houses from Detroit. Yikes. This is going to go on for a long time tonight!

1. Same here in NW PA.

Probably because the local fireworks displays aren't happening until the 7th. A lot of the stuff going off tonight is probably illegal.

2. Yeah, I know. I'm in city of STLMO, it's like a war zone out there. Dogs are huddled ...

right next to me, while I'm on the CPU, and I have given them bones and treats, got the TVs going as loud as I can get them, and otherwise, keeping them reassured. It'll be over before you know it.

Happy Fourth of July, all!

No fireworks from me, though...

3. Last night here in San Francisco it was constant fireworks or shooting

Tonight it’s still early but they are getting ready with limited blasts

It felt like a war going on last night. I suspect tonight will be worst. Lot of aggression out there.

My cat was traumatized last night.

9. Shooting? Yikes!

10. Sounds different than fireworks, mostly fireworks though.

4. Same here, the locals have some big ones here.

5. Really sounds like a battle being fought all around, and in the distance.

I can close my eyes and imagine it being real, momentarily.
Happy 4th of July!!

6. Fireworks are now legal here in SC PA. So they are really going nuts in my small town of

Shrewsbury!

7. Same here. My poor furbaby is laying

between my feet. She hates loud noises (fireworks, thunder, and so on). It will be a long night.

8. Yeah, it was quiet for a bit and I was thinking they were done for tonight

But just as I thought that, a new spate of explosions started up.

Every night for the last week it has rained between sunset and eleven - but not tonight,damn it. It rained a little before sunset but just enough to keep the humidity up.

At least my horses and the cats are used to explosions between the fireworks at any excuse and the neighbor with the firing range in his back twenty, next to my lower pastures. The house cat doesn't seem to notice the fireworks anymore - he may be going deaf.
