It sounds like this is huge, but will probably come in from underneath Solar System arcing upward and shooting past the orbit of Saturn, but not close to Saturn. Would be cool if it develops a tail and as a large comet is visible for a while, though this is still really far away.

How much you want to bet Americans will still set off July 4th fireworks?

I start watering my lawn a few days before. My neighbors started shooting off fireworks on Easter and we hear them every night.

Apparently none of my neighbors work, but still have plenty of money for firecrackers. For the 4th, they'll actually set up below high tension power lines and shoot into them. 'Merica!

4th of July is turning into another Christmas, where people are just so early and over the top with celebrations. Basically, there's 2 seasons here. July 4th and Christmas. As soon as the fireworks go away, the Christmas lights come out.

Our town had a big firework show last night at the park it lasted like 45 minutes.

Heard them in the distance at work but didn't see much.

We've had hot humid weather and also insane amounts of coastal rain storms so I guess we're okay for it.
