Central Texas, a couple nights ago, maybe 1 am and then 11 am I wondered at an unusual firework-ish loud popping noise that lasted over a minute. But maybe it really was fireworks, though they weren't being sold yet. Now before and after July 4 there were people who would set off fireworks even at 3 am, but scarcely during daylight. They had a larger popping sound than gunfire I've heard in this neighborhood.
