DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Daytona Beach's Fourth of July celebration was literally washed out.

Police said huge waves crashed over the barge that launches the fireworks and drenched the entire display, just minutes before the show was supposed to start.

Rain and strong winds also forced event organizers in Flagler Beach to cancel most of the city's Fabulous Fourth event.

In Kissimmee, thunderstorms forced the cancellation of Independence Day events at Lakefront Park. Officials may reschedule the event.
