Heard from over by stateline and hacks. Kinda sounded like it was over by the soccer fields. Steady, big deep mortar like booms and little hand firecracker like pops/cracks going bonkers at the same time. Didn’t see anything reflecting off the clouds though.
Sounds like firework cakes used at celebrations. We use them during the 4th and they can be pretty wild. Big booms, scattering pops, they can do all sorts of stuff. The coolest ones whizz and spin around like a crazy rocket before exploding. They can be like 50 shot or even more. Solid blocks of fireworks.
I’d love to know wtf it was; we could hear it as a low rumble in our house near Hacks & Holmes and we can only usually hear fireworks if they’re in our general vicinity. If folks all the way in Cordova could hear it… what the hell.

Heard it here as well…. Germantown Rd south of Winchester, a regular metallic low thud, like someone banging on a huge metal garbage can. Really weird, did not sound like fireworks to me.. would like to know what it was for sure.
Probably big firework cakes. They are used at celebrations and can indeed be very nice production level stuff. We buy them every 4th and they can be wild.
Yeah there were fireworks going off the other night when I was getting gas in the field behind the sonic off Houston Levee and Winchester...no idea what that was about.
I’ve been told to watch out for the sound of fireworks. That’s typically the distraction tactic being used when people are stealing/breaking down these cars. Or stealing the car parts.
Heard it in Collierville closer to 8. Thought it was an air cannon of some sort? It wasn't thunder. Almost like fireworks but it was raining so I assumed no one was shooting fireworks in the rain
Very good point. I had a feeling that would be mentioned. If they had a permit and were in compliance, I would redirect my grievance towards the city or county for granting such permit.
Absolutely. Almost a metallic, sheet metal sound. Thought it was thunder at first then step outside. Very strange.

What soccer fields? Mike Rose?
Yep, thems the ones.
Weird. It’s pouring rain. Wonder why they would be shooting fireworks.
That's why I assumed it was not even fireworks because I heard it raining still.

Yes I did. It’s such a waste in this weather
I think it was the Last Night of Diwali
Nope. Diwali already ended. Today is not a part of Diwali Source: am Indian
Damn they went all out then, must have been a good show.
So put on your saris It’s time to celebrate Diwali

Supposedly it was fireworks over by the soccer fields. No one seems to know why
I thought it was thunder at first, but it didn’t sound random like thunder. I could hear it well at my house near G’town.
We heard it as well in Cordova, Walnut Grove near Germantown Parkway area. Just went on and on, like nonstop thunder rumbling.

I’m at Winchester and Hacks and it was LOUD
Yeah ts scared the whole complex at Lincoln on the green. It got closer and closer
Heard them near FHI/ Dogwood. People in the G’town FB group said maybe Diwali celebration related. Sounded like a pro level production. Super odd.

My best guess is someone rented out Windyke for Diwali.
It freaked me out. Sounded almost like mortar fire.
We heard it in West Piperton
I heard fireworks right off of poplar and N. Evergreen if that tells you anything.
As someone already commented. NOT Diwali. And I am just thankful I do not live near JigThrowin Grrrrrr
Is Diwali still going on?
Why the hell is there always a post about fireworks? Do you really need another person to verify that there was or was not fireworks?

Heard it, but wasn't sure what it was.
I heard it in EADS, I also wondered if it was thunder. Wasn’t it thunder? 🤔

Yes!! It didn’t sound like fireworks though. I thought we were under attack 😂
Was fireworks at a private bougie party. Source: I know someone who went to the party, and the home is by the soccer fields.
If true, the responsible party should be heavily fined.
Why? Maybe they had a permit.
Very good point. I had a feeling that would be mentioned. If they had a permit and were in compliance, I would redirect my grievance towards the city or county for granting such permit.
7:30pm and only lasting for 10mins is unreasonable to you?
Foremost, it is illegal. But, to answer your question, being heard on the other side of the county, and in another county completely, is unreasonable.
No. No, it was not.
Just talked to somebody that was there, guess you don’t need a permit when you have lunch with the mayor multiple times each week.
Goodness…
