Here's a video from some friends' front yard in Omaha. They live down the hill from our old place, so this is only about 60% of the view we had.
Mind you, this is not a municipality or public show of some kind they are peering at. This is a bunch of citizens, a few adult beverages, and several thousand dollars of pyrotechnics. The show slows down about 3 am.
You'll have to visit when we get back.
What is an OmaHeck...
It is likely you have never heard of an OmaHeck. We kind of made it up. Here's a little history:
When I moved to Utah in 1990, I was introduced to a brand new phrase: "Oh my heck!" I guess it means "wow", "no way", or "that's surprising." It serves as a multi-purpose expression and possibly a swear :-0 (as in "Oh my heck, you are a jerk!)
When the family left Utah and settled in Omaha, NE (2004), we became "OmaHecks."

That was so cool when we lived there. We really just bought a few sparklers and enjoyed everyone else's spoils.
Crazy! There was nothing of the sort in San Diego for the 4th OR Utah for the 24th. I miss Omaha fireworks...especially the college world series!
