Anybody experiencing a lot of fireworks where they live For the last two weeks? [View all]

Every night fir the last two weeks it’s boom boom boom all night long. I get to sleep and sm awoken constantly by the noises.

I don’t ever remember in weeks leading to July 4 so many firecrackers going off before. I’m Wondering if it’s these right wing Mf45 supporters setting them off.

I feel bad for people with pets. I heard a dog last night whimpering loudly after one went off in my neighborhood. It was so loud it even startled me.
