Raining - cancelled fireworks

151949 — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 00:13:19 GMT

Raining here tonight so many surrounding communities have cancelled the fireworks.

Fortunately for us, the local community had our fireworks on Thursday. They had a brass band who played for 2 hours before the fireworks then throughout the fireworks display. We throughly enjoyed ourselves.

Are you going to the fireworks tonight?

I live in the DC area. Supposedly they don't cancel fireworks. My neighbors shoot off so many I might as well be sitting (like I used to do) in Washington, DC next to them.

It scares my cat to death. She's afraid of everything though, even me!

Yep it's on TV. Smokey Robinson is singing! It's wet but I don't think it's raining....

We watched the large fireworks display yesterday in our community. I have no desire to drive downtown or anywhere else to see the ones tonight.

No film or photos of fireworks ever comes close to doing them justice.

I wish it were raining here - my neighbors would not be able to go crazy with their fireworks - scares me and my dogs - they are so loud!

We are just starting to get the loud Bomb ones going off....the ones that are so loud they shake the walls. I hate them. What does a bomb noise have to do with America and celebration?

Fireworks are prohibited where I live but heard some going off last night in the distance. It is only 6:15 pm here right now. Firework shows won't go until 10 pm. They set them off from barges on the lake. I have a very nervous 75 pound dog!

@colliegirls

I agree. Fireworks on TV just does not do it for me!

Fireworks prohibited here, but it still gets pretty noisy. Some communities had fireworks events for the public on Fri, Sat & Sun nights, with a few being held tonight. Next weekend, the Colorado Rockies will have fireworks following their home game on Fri night. I expect my neighbors will be making some noise in about another hour or so. I don't mind.

I would just love to have rain, even though the thread is about fireworks.

Ours were cancelled too. I think they are rescheduled for next weekend. I'm watching A Capitol Fourth on TV, that's always a good show.

One of my Facebook friends lives in Charlottesville, VA, and she told me fireworks were cancelled there due to rain.

Watching ours right now at home on WETA the local PBS channel. It's called the Capitol Fourth because it's here in the Nation's Capitol, Washington, DC, my hometown! I live in northern Virginia right outside of DC. Yes it's raining but no way is this cancelled. All of the military bands are performing, a huge crowd in attendance, and everyone looks like they're having a great time! Happy Fourth to all of you!

Outside of Baltimore and it's raining... and fireworks are going off all over the place. Sounds like a battlefied from a movie.

I just spent 6 nights at the Disneyland resort. We saw fireworks every night 60th anniversary. Memories for a lifetime with the grandkids. Tonight I am staying in as it is much more relaxing.

The rain has pretty much let up here. We're watching Pittsburgh's firework display on WPXI.

My husband is an old stick in the mud when it comes to traveling to see fireworks, he'd rather sit in his recliner and watch them on TV. He has convinced himself he is too old to do alot of things. I wonder if I should start planning his funeral.
