I think making sure the tripod is stable and using a remote shutter release as others have mentioned is the way to go. Nevertheless, I like these.

Bubbee, dbrunner25 got it right. When I read you were on the 3rd floor and shooting from your terrace, that is what came to mind first and foremost. I am sure being on a 3rd floor terrace/deck is what caused those results, it was the vibrations of the fireworks as they went off on a less than stable shooting platform that caused your tripod to shake.
Your shutter speed is not the problem as was mentioned... I've used 8 second shutter speeds and never seen those kind of results. But that being said, I really like the abstract look of your images, they are different for sure, but pretty cool IMO.

I would keep every one. Call them a happy accidents. I agree with others about camera movement. EXIF showed 3 second exposure, if camera ( balcony) moves it will show up. Maybe you or others were moving to get better perspective, etc, could cause these ever so slight movements. Cheers -- Dan.

I agree with alliebess in that your shutter speed was too slow. It allowed the explosions to drag on creating the longer lines of color rather than a very short POP of color. If your camera was on a tripod it would seem camera movement would be at a very minimum.
Having said all of that I like your photos.

Well I had a tripod malfunction and mine also had camera shake.
Even the slightest will cause those squiggly lines like yours and mine

Sturdy tripod, remote shutter release, and experiment with the amount of time the shutter is open. But aside from that your shots look very cool and different than the normal fireworks shots.
