SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. -- A large wave washed out the Fourth of July fireworks show in a Jersey shore community. City officials say a wave ran so far up the shore Saturday night, it soaked all the fireworks set up on the beach. Officials say the fireworks were set up closer to the surf than usual to satisfy state regulations requiring spectators be kept a specific distance away from the fireworks. They say beach erosion has made fulfilling this requirement a challenge.
