Funny thing this year. Fireworks are legal here including the bigger stuff. Every year I've lived here in West Virginia, the fireworks start up at least a week before the 4th and continue after. Every night bang, bang, fizz. Except not this year. Nightfall on July 3rd and still silence. This is very weird and I have no explanation for it.
Well, I'm pleased to say that starting about 9:25 PM, things lit up here as usual with private displays all over the place. The town was choked with smoke and I got some good drone footage of all the hoopla.
Why the silence before that time, I have no solid explanation. I suspect that "monkey see, monkey do" is the explanation. Someone starts up 3 days early and everyone else has to get in on the action. But nobody started early this year so nobody followed.
Weird.
@shuttersparks hmmm, tonight will be the tell…
@cass_m It will. I'm curious. It's still early, only 7:30 PM. Still silent.
Full darkness now, still nothing. This is crazy, creepy.
