You can go around the town and enjoy all kinds of local firework displays but if you feel like staying home, you can make your own mesmerizing fun with mousetraps and ping pong balls.

El Paso has always relied on the Keetch-Byram Drought Index to decide whether or not to allow fireworks. A rating over 575 is grounds to declare aerial fireworks illegal and, so far, we haven't hit that mark.

A firework factory in Columbia exploded last weekend. The eruption caused damaged to 17 houses, stopped traffic, destroyed five building that housed gun powder, and injured two people.

You could be frustrated because you came to San Diego Bay early to get a good spot, spent the whole day waiting for the big fireworks show, then, after a glitch fired off every last rocket in one 15-second burst, spent two hours looking at taillights just to get out of the parking lot. But you stay classy...
