Moving further into springtime, Memorial Day is right around the corner and typically kicks off the busiest couple of months to buy fireworks online.  Most of the items have arrived from China and smart shoppers will buy before the rush to make sure they get their favorite items before they sell out.  Over 1,000 different firework devices are legal for sale in the USA including firecrackers, reloadable mortars, spinners, multi shots, rockets, ground items and sparklers…what’s your favorite?  We love seeing pictures of peoples firework stashes as they stock up for the summer, now is the time to get started!

Reports are pouring in from Florida to Maine of a “very bright, blueish green streak that looked like large fireworks”  according to hundreds of witnesses posting to blogs and news sites.  There are a few reports of impact with earth and a loud boom but nothing official as of 11:00 EST.  News crews are on their way to the potential impact area thought to be somewhere in Delaware.

   Well there’s a welcome warning!  The largest river in the country is spilling over it’s banks from recent rains and snow melt and after last years devastating drought, things are off to a great start for this year weather wise.  Cool and wet are a great combination for all the upcoming product demo’s as new fireworks flow in from China, many ahead of schedule.

2012 will be remembered for a loooong time as the worst year in decades for firework sales across much of the USA.  Sales in some areas were down as much as 80% even where mandatory bans were not implemented by local government agencies.   Starting in September the rains returned to much of the country and have continued, slowly but surely lessening the droughts grip.  At the time of this writing rains have greened things up nicely just in time for fantastic fall colors!  Retailers are banking on an above average winter season, specifically New Years Eve celebrations with fireworks to help get them back in the black and reduce inventory to make room for the 2013 products now in production in China.  Online fireworks sales are expected to be about the only sector that can hope to report increased sales this year, and that trend should continue as bargain shoppers continue to use the internet to find the convenience and savings potential of having fireworks delivered right to their door steps.

Diwali is the Indian Holiday celebrated each fall usually in November.  Sparklers are the main firework purchased for Diwali celebrations worldwide.  Interestingly India is second only to China in firework production, unfortunately there have been some recent manufacturing accidents and injuries in India slowing down their production capacities.   US Fireworks is the #1 website for buying fireworks online and has tons of stock on many different sparklers just in time for Diwali 2012!  Order today and have your Diwali sparklers delivered to your doorstep in plenty of time for your celebrations.

The summer of 2012 is turning out to be a real scorcher as far as temperatures, and well under average precipitation as of late June has officials concerned.  Forecasts in the Midwest for the last week of June show high temperatures as extreme as 113 degrees with heat indices touching 120.  Meteorologists say the the heat indices would actually be even worse, but the humidity and dew points are lower then normal ranging in the 50’s. This just adds to the fire dangers, toss in a gentle breeze and a spark can become a raging inferno in mere minutes under these conditions.
