Illegal fireworks explode in the Molina neighborhood

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Despite warnings from Corpus Christi municipal manager Peter Zanoni and the Corpus Christi Police Department about cracking down on illegal fireworks, it was still a sleepless night for many Corpus Christi residents.

An Austin resident visiting the family in the Molina neighborhood recorded a huge fireworks display on her mother’s porch.

Hundreds of illegal fireworks can be seen in the brief video clip that Maria de la Luz Martinez recorded with her cell phone on Block 4300 on Barrera Drive.

She told KRIS 6 News that it has become something of an annual tradition to watch illegal fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

And many other Molina residents went out last night to watch their neighbors’ illegal display.
