I'm about 30 minutes south of the district...
and at midnight Saturday, I'd estimate that 90% of the pops and bangs we heard were not fireworks...
and I commented to my Mrs that I was surprised we didn't hear anything really close, then, shucks, right down the street, less than a "city block" away, "pow- pow- pow- bang- boom- BOOM- BOOM.
No mistaking it... and some in the distance was on "bush-rake"...
