I never had a full appreciation of fireworks until I lived in Cambridge and watched them launched off barges from the Harvard Bridge. That was the first time that I felt fireworks. Those shows were a total rush.
I then got a whole new level of appreciation when I was in Dalian China for Chinese New Year. Fireworks were heard intermittently (about every minute) for days and nights leading up to the last 12 hours, when they became continuous. As the last hour approached, you couldn't hear yourself think. It sounded like the world was exploding. My mother-in-law gave us fat, several foot long strings of blackcats to hang out of the apartment window on a pole. Light, make lots of noise and smoke, repeat. That and roman candles, held by hand, shot out the window! :) Good times! no one would have known if the city was being bombed. The stuff you are setting off is artillery. Stay safe. :)
