You guys don't use fireworks at new years?
Yes, but it's generally professional shows or just a few at midnight. On the fourth it's like half the neighborhood setting them off from dusk to 11ish.
Lol Los Angeles would very much like to disagree
OK, but aren't there still like 100x more on the fourth?
You're certainly right, it's downright terrifying when it goes from a few dozen a day to a few thousand. I swear it was like someone was letting out a machine gun for a solid 4 hours.
I live in a state where, as far as I can tell, anyone can get any amount of explosives of any lethality. So this holiday runs from late June into early August every year.
Totally opposite where I'm at, way more fireworks on New Year's every year than I've ever seen on the Fourth
