THOMASVILLE, Ga. (WTXL) - Despite the foggy weather that most of southwest Georgia is going to see Monday, hundreds of people are still stocking up on fireworks. 

Kitty Hardmen, Co-Owner of Krazy Kitty's Fireworks in Thomasville, said her customers just want something big and loud, so a little bad weather won't stop them. 

She said New Year's Eve and the Fourth of July are the busiest times of the year.

Hardmen said people were already lining up at the store before it opened and it hasn't slowed down since. 

"Today has been a whirlwind. It's been kind of slow during the week, but little rush hours here and there. And, then this morning when I got here at 9:00, it's been nonstop," said Hardmen. 

Even though fireworks are fun to play with, county leaders urge you to use extreme caution when lighting fireworks of any kind.

In the state of Georgia you cannot set off fireworks after 1:00 a.m.
