Great 25 minute show in Atmore.
Jay most definitely has the best show
I will be at home with my dogs helping them hide from the noise while I resist the urge to take cover and start low crawling,lol.
I hope they have great weather for the fireworks show downtown but I’m hoping for rain in my neighborhood from 7pm until 1am.
Last year on the following day I found someone’s bottle rocket in my carport next to a 5 Gallon gas container that was full. That was a bit unnerving.
Alcohol and explosive projectiles, what could possibly go wrong,lol?
Stay safe folks, Bring in your dogs.
