Is your community canceling fireworks because of dry conditions?

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 

The news mentioned the possibility and Stormy mentioned dry conditions where she lives as well. 

 

So far they are just planning on having extra fire personnel available, and to wet down the grass prior to shooting  them off downtown.

It's very dry here in Michigan. Lawns are yellow, like they would normally be in August. Even plants that normally flower in August are flowering now. Fireworks will go on - they are on lakes, so we sit on the beach & the fireworks come from a barge out in the lake, so it's not a problem.

Nope, we've had flood watches off and on the past couple weeks, so no worries about dry conditions here!

My own local community hasn't yet, but there are several here in IN who have. We keep watching to see if they're going to, although it's going to be so hot, we may just skip them this year anyway.

I haven't heard about fireworks being banned/cancelled in this area, but IMO, they should be.  It's dangerously dry around here.

We have flooding conditions here. The river is supposed to crest tonight.

Not here in NW Indiana. We just had a whopper of a storm today, one last night and more rain is called for the next 3 days.

Not here in Hampton Roads. Most of our displays are over water anyways.

Nothing is cancelled here as of right now (in Kentucky....south central area) but it IS dangerously dry.  There's a fireworks ban in the county and if caught using them you can be fined.  Then there are certain times they can be used in the city.

 

raetonycass....please, PLEASE send some of that rain south...and fast!!  We desperately need it.

Yes.  There are whole lists of areas around here that you are prohibited to shoot off fireworks.  I smell smoke now as we 'speak'.  There are so many fires around us (thankfully not *right* here right now) it's scary.  Yet I hear neighbors setting them off.  Hope they don't start any fires.  Why even take a chance??

 

I honestly can't remember the last time it rained.
