  • Brainerd lakes area residents got more than they bargained for Wednesday night while attending Fourth of July fireworks' events in Baxter.
    The lights in the sky were not all fireworks as a severe thunderstorm barreled through the lakes area offering residents plenty of lightning strikes that lit up the sky.
    Residents lined up along Highway 371 in Baxter, filled up the empty field between Target and Mills Body Works and surrounding areas to watch Brainerd/Baxter's fireworks through the early part of the storm. The fireworks show was cut short by the storm when the National Weather Service (NWS) in Duluth issued a tornado warning for Crow Wing, Cass, Wadena, Morrison and Todd counties. Sirens went off three times during the night and law enforcement authorities asked fireworks watchers to go home and seek shelter because of the storm.
    The fireworks were started before the NWS prompted the first siren blasts for the tornado warning. Once started, the firework display couldn't be stopped.

      Definitely sounded like a war zone with firecrackers sounding like ammo, lightning and thunder sounding like explosions and tornado sirens going off as if it were World War 2.

    I was living in Spokane, Wa. some years ago, when this same thing happened on July 4th. The fireworks were supposed to start at 10, but a strong storm system was moving in so they started the fireworks at 9:30. It was so awesome watching the fireworks with the lightning at the same time. Man's fireworks vs. Mother Natures.

    Correction, the NWS does not prompt the sirens, They issue the watches and warning. Then the EMA usually sounds the sirens.

    Ah, the fireworks are on a timer, they are set to go of, once they start going off, there's Nothing they can do to stop it. I'm sure they would if they could, all they could do is just let the fireworks Go off. I know that some if you say that they should stop the fireworks, but n reality, it's on a computerized timer, If they knew ahead of time about the sirens and being told to go inside, they maybe could have shut down everything, but that would have to be before the show starts.
