Folly Beach, Pembroke Pines Cancel July 4 Fireworks

Folly Beach, South Carolina, and Pembroke Pines, Florida, have canceled their annual Fourth of July fireworks celebrations due to concerns about adverse weather. Folly Beach officials cited sustained high winds and the threat of a developing tropical system off the coast, with public safety as a priority as tropical depression formation chances rose to 60%. Pembroke Pines canceled its festivities and fireworks at the Pines Recreation Center because of a forecast predicting showers and storms, with no plans to reschedule. Residents in both communities are encouraged to seek alternative locations for Independence Day celebrations.
