Looks like a lot of those $1200 checks went to fireworks sellers this year

I live out in the cornfields of Flyover, USA and can see the fireworks from different towns from my back yard

In the 12 years I’ve lived here, I’ve NEVER seen and heard so many going off as I did last night

Yeah sounded like a war zone near me. Guess it does remind you of battle for freedom

Same here, but I live in the Upstate of SC. There were several town-worthy fireworks displays all over the place last night. The line to get into the fireworks stand yesterday was backed up pretty far, too.

My city canceled its fireworks display, but the people sent several FU’S into the sky for a good 3 hours. It was beautiful!! Especially with the moon rising. So my city looked just like the one in the twitter vid.

Some states banned any fireworks...even the ground fountains and sparklers...so folks went across state lines and brought them home.

You can get mortars in my state and some folks had big professional booners while most had the slightly smaller ones.

We all had a blast!

My wife has a lot of relatives in a neighboring state to yours, and all of them said the fireworks were spectacular for several hours.

Same here in the suburbs of Tampa. It began Friday night. Last night was the crescendo. It went on for hour upon hour. The skies all around were lit continuously for hours and there were more large explosions than I can ever remember since moving here more than 10 years ago.

Same here. I have lived at my current residence almost 10 years and have never seen and heard so many fireworks as there were last night. It was awesome!

Same here-best fireworks I’ve seen in a long time-I live in a rural area-these are the cheap seats-no gated enclave, all acreage lots, mobile homes and cabins, chickens, other livestock, mostly vets, rednecks, some bikers, -I think we all had bought fireworks, but after dark, the really good stuff went up-high dollar, some likely not legal because it sounded like a battle, shook the ground, etc-and a lot of us firing guns into the air, same as every year, too-everyone yelling USA, USA! up and down the road-but fireworks are perfectly legal here some had talked about making a statement on the 4th-most are tired of this scamdemic, masks, rioting, etc it-I’m sure everyone knows what side the boonies have chosen...

The few Karens who live in the area wisely stayed home and didn’t call anyone to bitch about the noise...

Oh my gosh it was the same here! Never saw anything like it!...

Neighbors all around were setting off amazing fireworks......some even in the middle of a four way stop street.....roman candles and such were beautiful and loud! I counted 7 displays in a three block area alone!

People had picnic tables in their “front yards” having picnics etc. throughout the day. Like they were taking a visible stand, proud of their country and our President!
It was in the face of those who want to destroy this country!

Right? They tried to ban all the fireworks shows here in California to show their virtue signaling to the LuHan flu but nobody was buying it

Never in my many decades have I seen a tenth of the illegal major fireworks that went off in the San Francisco Bay Area last night. It was unreal.
