THANK YOU they sounded so eerie from Manayunk, I thought it was thunder from the outer parts of Ian about to hit us

I'm in Manayunk too - and it was happening right when my adorable, lil 7 year old daughter ripped a HUGE FART. When I asked if she thought that was thunder, she thought I was referring to her fart - and just cracked up.

Eerie, yes! Knew it wasn’t thunder, sounded like multiple explosions. Wish the fireworks had been visible from Manayunk.

Clouds, because of the storm and the pressure system are denser and lower than usual. So sound is compressed and not diffusing upwards.

My friend in Mt Airy texted me in South Philly asking if the world was ending. Wild it was that loud all the way up there! Air must be extra dense from the incoming rain and carrying sound extra well.

That is so weird. I live in point breeze now as of the summer, but before that I lived right by the river… it sounded louder here in point breeze than it ever did when I was right next to them! I guess the clouds and rain must have been making the sound echo more than usual? I guess? that was fucking wild.

is it just me or do these fireworks look really fucking cool? i think fireworks are boring. but these have a dmt-like random fractal pattern. idk if the window and/or phone are doing something with the light, but whatever it looks pretty cool in the picture at least.
