Rural Oklahoma on July 4th and I am not hearing any fireworks.

[5X]

Usually, they have been going off for a week at all times of day and night.
This year, I have not seen a single customer vehicle at the fireworks stand that is usually quite busy.

Very strange for around here.

1. I haven't heard any here on the Oregon Coast either. A quiet 4th would be great.

2. Wait till tonight.

If I'm wrong I'm wrong.

3. Been quiet here where I am in TX, no fireworks...

but went to the store yesterday, and it was packed with folks buying up cook out supplies. Everyone wearing masks by the way. Everyone went about their errand.

I think a lot of family bbqs today.

4. We will surely hear them tonight.

5. No money?

Food or fireworks...I’ll take food. Maybe people have to choose this year.

6. Only fireworks here in Tallahassee have been the lightning with thunderstorms

Kinda dampens people's enthusiasm.

7. Same in the Keys.

Not one bang yesterday or today. But probably we’ll hear some tonight.

8. It's been happening late at night around here.

Expecting more tonight.

9. Suburban L.A. County.

Not a pop so far today (1:30pm), but we've heard the stray cracklers and boomers a few times a day for the last couple of weeks, so I'm sure they're just saving it up for tonight.

I'm gonna do a lot of this , and make frequent checks to make sure the house ain't burning down.

10. They were going off in Oklahoma City

11. Would *LOVE*

to be there - it's been three weeks here in NE Indiana where the mortars have been going off, all times of the day. So damn tired of it.

12. I haven't heard any fireworks either.

I fact when I go outside its so quiet it's creepy.

13. Disposable income is down and any extra is saved for hard times.

Government payments are gone after end of this month, so lots of fear.

Yes, the level of fireworks is subdued in my low-to-middle income neighborhood in north-central KY.

Originally from the country, I love the quiet.

KY........

14. haven't heard one here in Nashville, tn where I am and the 4th is usually morning to night

Maybe 130,000 dead is sinking in???

16. I've heard a few during the week and a few minutes of it last night

Normally, I work a 4th of July gig, and when I drive home, my neighborhood is filled with smoke.

17. Hearing Them Here!

NE Illinois.
But, not ridiculous and only the last couple nights.
Fortunately, our pets don't pay them much mind. They pretty much ignore them.

18. If you want to hear fireworks come to Chicago.

They have been firing them off every day and night since before Memorial Day. Of course we like to shoot off things here...
