Why are there loud fireworks-like noises outside?

Question

Well, I keep hearing noises outside like it was the fourth of july. Can anyone tell me what might be going on today to constitute so much noise. It's gonna wake up my kids. Ugh

Answer 1

Martin Luther King Jr. Gave his "I Have a Dream " speech in Washington 45 years ago today, and Tonight Barack Obama accepts the nomination for the first African-American candidate for President of the United States.

So if there are any Democrats or African-Americans they might be celebrating a moment in American History tonight.

Answer 2

You must be getting the echo from Denver, or you have extraordinary hearing.

Answer 3

I'm thinking somebody is celebrating something.  Fireworks aren't only for the 4th of July.

Answer 4

If you live in Iraq, it is an air strike. But according to your dazed question you could be anywhere in the USA. A little help would be nice?

Answer 5
