I was gonna say the same thing as Sue. We had fireworks here in Houston (city-sponsored display ... home fire works are outlawed), but they were smaller and shorter than previous years, due to the lack of rain.
But when I got home from watching the official display, someone near my house was shooting off a constant barrage, and it sounded just like the big displays put on by the professionals.
After that, the toads started up, and this time, I see what the neighbors complain about - it actually WAS too loud to sleep. I had to put in ear plugs!!
