Thanks. Those fireworks seemed awfully close and so they were. They scared the cats. Beautiful to see, though.

Just happened to be on the roof when this went down.
Quite spectacular! Better than Macy's 4th.

My cats are really pissed...They've been using my damn computer alllll night!! They say they are gonna get the press involved. OpEd piece for the Times. The piece is entitled, "Random Fireworks are no celebration for my furry heart."

My co-worker says they were for the USA Upfronts (which would explain the USA fireworks).

Supposedly the fireworks were for the USA Upfronts, which took place last night.

I was told it was for the fourth of July Spectacular, filming for tv, & Tim McGraw was performing.

Huh? Wha??
I googled "USA Upfronts". I still haven't the faintest idea what that is / means (?)

Upfronts are when TV networks present their upcoming shows for the new season to advertisers. Almost every channel does it and it's a huge to-do.
