No official word yet on whether DC's mega-fireworks show (and Dear Leader's speech) is on or not for tonight. Still lightning in the area.

They're still keeping a B1 in the air in a pattern near DC, which is supposed to start off the fireworks display with an afterburner run down the mall. That will be loud.

Looks like Trump will be speaking shortly, accompanied by a B1 bomber (with afterburner) zipping across the Mall, followed by an absurdly large fireworks display that might test everyone's smoke detectors.
B1 is currently circling east of DC.

B1 flyover inbound

Smoke is already so thick that you can barely see fireworks

@mattblaze
No one ever had the courage to do fireworks like this before
