it’s 8pm and I haven’t heard anything near me thank god. Last year the Diwali celebrations were madness, shit sounded like bombs going off just over the hill. Multiple dogs had seizures and I think at least one died. A few of the explosions shook my house.
I don’t want this to be a Diwali hate comment, July 4 also sucks, but July 4 doesn’t sound like someone’s firebombing the next neighborhood over and the explosions are much closer. No idea on the dog fatality rate.
Edit: just talked to my mom, supposedly Diwali celebrations were held over the weekend. I didn’t hear anything so they must’ve used like regular fireworks. Not sure what the hell they were using last year but it really did sound like my neighbors were being firebombed
Yeah it feels like a Warzone on Diwali night. Glad that you didn't have to suffer this year.
