Yesterday was brutal where we live. The noise from this stuff was unbelievable. A neighbor told me most of it was from a party on the street behind us. He may be right because there was no detritus at all from fireworks or rockets on our street this morning.
Out of curiosity I called the non-emergency police line this a.m. to ascertain at what time fireworks must end. She told me our city had “inundated” the police line with calls about the noise. I was shocked when she told me that there were no time constraints at all. “Private citizens can let off fireworks whenever they want.” WTH!
Later on I realized this makes no sense at all. A “private citizen” cannot use a snow blower or a leaf blower after 9 p.m. (It might be 8 p.m. on Sunday.) A private citizen cannot start building a garden shed before 7 a.m. (might be 8 a.m. Sunday.) And he definitely can’t mow his lawn before 7 a.m.
Fireworks are so pretty, I like them as much as anyone else. And their noise is not too bad, but the sound of the rockets is appalling. My outside cats were terrified.
What’s the situation where you live with fireworks?
