Watch Fireworks Online with These Streaming Fireworks Cams

There are any number of reasons that you might want to watch fireworks online (not to be confused with online fireworks, like what happens when spouses spy on each other online and catch each other cheating). Perhaps you are housebound, and so would like to view some fireworks webcams. Or maybe you have to work the late shift, or have a dog who is fearful of fireworks with whom you want to stay home, and so are hoping to watch streaming fireworks online. Unfortunately, most searches for online fireworks viewing lead to junk sites with nothing but ads and spyware. But here, for your online fireworks viewing pleasure, are a few sites where you can sit and watch streaming fireworks video from the comfort of your..er..computer screen. In each instance, some kind soul has set up their own fireworks webcam, so be sure to thank them if you get the chance!
