Fireworks seem to have lost their attractiveness. 
I think I heard maybe 5 on the night of the 4th, and zero in the week leading up to it.

I live in Mililani.  Curious if this was the situation islandwide?  Are the big fireworks planned for the weekend?

All I can say is it was a very pleasant holiday without the massive explosions, smoke and terrified pets.

 

Yup....only a few kabooms in Waipahu and some kids playing pop-pops in the neighborhood.

Looks like LA is repeating the mistake someone here made earlier at Salt Lake...

Illegal L.A. firework show goes awry,
killing one, destroying several homes

One person was killed and four homes were destroyed in Los Angeles
on Thursday night after an illegal fireworks show went awry.

More than 130 firefighters were called to the Pacoima blaze, which
began around 9 p.m. As they arrived, fireworks were exploding high
into the sky, forcing them to stay back at a safe distance.

“This structure fire also was involving a significant amount of fireworks
that were being stored there and these fireworks were raining all upon
the neighborhood,” David Ortiz, a Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD)
public information officer, told ABC 7.

Three homes were already on fire when first responders arrived, but the
explosion of active fireworks that were being stored in the detached
garage of one of the homes caused an additional home to catch fire.

Firefighters were able to contain the blaze in just under an hour.

The LAFD said a 33-year-old woman was taken to the hospital in critical
but stable condition, and four other people suffered smoke inhalation but
declined transport to the hospital. Several animals were injured as well,
the L.A. Times reports.

On Friday morning, the department confirmed that a man in his mid-30s died.
