Happy Forth of July - Kate Hamilton Pardee began organizing Nantucket's July 4 celebrations last fall, but at the last minute Hurricane Arthur upended her carefully made plans.
As the hurricane moved up the Atlantic Coast, it was expected to skirt Cape Cod and Nantucket, where the National Weather Service issued a tropical storm warning. Officials in communities across Cape Cod pulled the plug on fireworks displays scheduled for Friday night.
"Mother Nature is her own woman," said Pardee, director of Nantucket Visitor Services.
