At Fort Independence
The charges of "nanny state" are going to be flying tomorrow
since the Esplanade has been evacuated, and it is might not even rain down there. I understand the concerns, but hell, I looked at the radar when that was going down a little while ago and saw a dying thunderstorm that was going to pass by to the northeast of the city.
I suppose I would have erred on the side of caution too, but I would have liked to see a larger and solid line of storms (as opposed to a single cell) before I ordered several hundred thousand people to move.
I hope that everything stays orderly down there.
Thunderstorm and rain
I awaited the fireworks from an 8th floor balcony in Coolidge Corner. The lightning storm was spectacular and intense, for at least an hour before 10 pm. Although that eventually passed, a brief heavy rain followed just as the 10:35 fireworks got under way.
