The fireworks in my neighborhood are unbelievable - for a few nights before and after the 4th, a lot of (Mexican) families set them off in their yards and on sidewalks, anywhere from 10:30am in the morning until 1:30am at night.
The houses are 3-4 stories and set close together, so I do wonder what would happen if any fireworks settled on rooftops. Could a fire start?
A couple times, too, these fireworks set off that had a loud "BOOM" like a mortar shell, and one of those even set 3-4 car alarms ringing at once, it exploded so loud.
I was taking a job one evening in the beautiful quarry park near me and was about to pass a(n Asian) guy jogging towards me when one went off. We both jumped and I involuntarily threw my hand over my heart.
"That scared me!", I said as I jogged past.
"Me too!", he said, in accented English.
He had a sweatshirt on advertising a lower level business school in the city, and we passed each other in different areas of the park several times after that.
