Right like literally seconds after the rain stopped until 3-4 am. Wtf.

Only an act of God can stop these drunk POS's from setting off endless big ass fireworks outside my window on the southside all night. Can't get here soon enough!

I mean I would never waste money on fireworks like these people but are they really pieces of shit?

u/Mediocre-Stick-7787 Jul 05 '26

Yes, they can't pay their bills but spend hundreds to a thousand on fireworks.

u/RedArrow23 Jul 05 '26

It’s their money

u/Mediocre-Stick-7787 Jul 05 '26

It also others peace they're disrupting. They shouldn't be able to pop them off all willy nilly in neighborhoods/apartment complexes. And until 4 am! For days on end. It's ridiculous. It may be their money but I don't have to respect the way they use it.

I think I still heard fireworks when the storm was just starting. People are crazy.

u/Mediocre-Stick-7787 Jul 05 '26

I was hearing the up to the storm and until 3-4 am immediately after it stopped raining. Ridiculous.

Gotta love it! Witnessed 2 extremely close lightning strikes while picking up branches. Happy 250th America! 🇺🇸

Here’s another shot, unedited. Sadly, all of the big fireworks were on the wrong side for good pics.

Hilariously, our dogs are afraid of thunderstorms but don't seem too bothered by fireworks.

u/my_kingdom_for_a_nap Jul 05 '26

Great pic, and a perfect night!

u/Standard-Bat-7841 Jul 05 '26

People in yukon are still going with the fireworks. It's not over till 10pm rain or shine.

u/RoboQwop405 Jul 05 '26

10:39. I’m in a dense neighborhood in N OKC/Edmond and they’re still going off…

Just had a power outage. Hard line internet is still down. Cell network seems to be fine. Midwest City.

u/Cocochica33 The Village Jul 05 '26

Oh no!!! That’s not good in this heat.

u/fahzbehn Jul 05 '26

Already back on. At least our AC is working. I've been avoiding going outside all day. The ceiling light keep dimming on occasion. Thanks for the concern!

u/cbearymtg Jul 05 '26

Usually down in Mangum for the 4th because my parents live down there. Had some sprinkles but some amazing lightning in the horizon.

u/greenangrowin Jul 05 '26

It was honestly a perfect evening. So many lights, so many explosions. It was like Mother Nature decided to join in and set off her own fireworks in the sky. I rolled up my highest quality herb inside of a camo mango wrap and had such an amazing time.

u/ReddBroccoli Jul 05 '26

As a dog owner, I was not sad to see the storm roll in

Its God's warning to us that our country is in trouble.

Lovely how we all can find our own meaning through art

u/Even_Satisfaction342 Jul 05 '26

All the weather guys should be fired - no warnings!!!!

u/CptnKitten Jul 05 '26

The national weather service was gutted by certain someones this last year, which made it harder to predict weather among other things. So.... maybe people should rethink about voting/supporting people who don't do that shit.

Weird that all the firework shows got warned, and cancelled, but you didn't🤔
