Dry conditions around the South, and in particular the Atlanta area, are going to prevent the normal "oohs and aahs" on the Fourth of July this year. Some of the recent developments include:
June 13: Sugar Hill annonuces plans to soak the soccer field where the fireworks show will be held. Officials warn that the field will wet, so come prepared.
June 18: Woodstock City Council voted to postpone the July 4th fireworks until later in the year when drought conditions improve.
June 18: Roswell says that the fireworks show will go on; fire chief reserves right to cancel city fireworks show before the Fourth.
June 20: Peachtree City asks residents not to shoot fireworks off at home; the professional fireworks display over Lake Peachtree will still happen.
June 20: Norcross says the fireworks show will go on as scheduled.
Expect more updates as we close in on July 4th. If the South continues to run dry, expect to see more local fireworks shows cancelled.
