I need to be careful about what I wish for. This past weekend Honolulu hosted the Hawaii Festival. There was a parade at the end of the festival with an amazing fireworks show with Nagaoka fireworks from Japan that's been seen outside of Japan for the very first time.
The fireworks were awesome. You can see more in this video I shot (though at times the video was obstructed by my hand as I was shielding my phone from the rain). Regardless, you can hear the boom of the fireworks going off and me commenting on how I *love* that sound.
Well, I suppose I got what I asked for because yesterday Oahu was hit with a CRAZY tropical storm that had the radios issuing flash flood warnings throughout the day and at night, one of the worst thunder storms I have ever heard/seen in my life. I was in my kitchen when the first one went off and I literally jumped I was so startled. It honestly believed a bomb had been dropped on us. I rushed to the lanai to see where.. then I saw more blue flashes and the thunder again. Car alarms were going off due to the thunder as well. I hadn't been this scared in a long time. :(
