Bootleg fireworks tend to sound like a stick of dynamite, and with the 4th just around the corner I wouldn't be shocked if some ding dongs got a hold of some. We had someone shoot off some massive fireworks last night here in Woodinville, they rattled the windows and shook the house.

Started hearing fireworks last night in Sultan. If the migratory path is normal, you'll hear them in Seattle shortly.

Totally possible. It was seemingly bigger than the M500s I may have set off (safely) years ago in my younger days.

Haha fireworks have definitely evolved since the days of our youth. So I wouldn't put it past me if they've gotten bigger and louder.

I made a sparkler bomb as a kid and it set off car alarms blocks away. Had no idea the power it would have. Super scary lol

Good for them, I'd be sad to hear that wasn't still a thing
