  • You may have heard this one before, but how accurate is the common belief that skies turn green before a tornado strikes? We asked tornado hunter Ricky Forbes to separate the fact from the fiction.

    Having lived in tornado alley all of my life, I’ve only seen the sky turn green once and I t was the most unnatural, almost neon green, color I’ve ever seen in the sky- it was just green for as far as we could see. It was probably one of the most surreal weather-related experiences I’ve had next to witnessing a single tornado split into three smaller tornados a few miles away

    No, the sky turning green is caused by the light being defracted through hailstones. It does however indicate a strong updraft which is where the association with tornado's comes from.

    I remember a green clouded storm passing through Thunder Bay, ON back in 1998. I saw it on the horizon as I left a 7eleven, walked 4 blocks home, and the clouds were already overhead. As soon as I closed the door, the most ferocious rain storm I ever heard arrived which lasted for several hours. My mother and little brother (who was almost 4 at the time) were strawberry picking out at a local farm. They told me the rain was so heavy it was physically painful.

    Thunderstorms, which can be the home of tornadoes, usually happen later in the day, when the sun is approaching the horizon. That creates a reddish tinge in the sky, as any fan of sunsets knows. But light under a 12-mile high thundercloud is primarily blue, due to scattering by water droplets within the cloud. When blue objects are illuminated with red light, Bachmeier says, they appear green.

      Does the sky always turn green before a tornado? 0058am 3.5.22 wow... i have only ever seen a clay coloured sky prior to a downpour as i wandered over a hill (brown wardle)... it was most disconcerting, there was a very weird feeling accompanying it...

    I remember the day of the famous Edmonton tornado in 1987, my mum was driving me back from day-camp at the John Janzen Nature Centre and we both noticed and commented, when driving over the river, how strangely green the sky looked. The tornado hit very soon after that, in a different part of the city to where we were.

    The sky turned green here in Northern Toronto the summer of 2008 when a tornadoe hit the city of Vaughn which is just north of Toronto, it was freaky. I lost my cedar tree in the the front yard in that storm. It came down like match sticks

    I remember on April 3, 1974 in Louisville, Ky the sky turning green during the tornado outbreak here. It did not hit in my specific area of town, but I remember distinctly the green tint to the atmosphere.

    I've seen the sky colored a yellow green color twice both times just as an afternoon multicellular thunderstorm passed over my NC home as it weakened and died out.

    Freaky ! after seeing what the Hail has done to your window @00:57 ... I would be inclined to be putting a 5/16" sheet of Lexan over the window mounted on that frame you have over the cab @00:46. and maybe a reinforcing strut down the middle of the frame over the window.

    I hear somewhere that green skies are green cuz of ice, aka hail, and are indicative of hail.

    No it doesn't need to be green before tornadoes form, we spent 6 years living in tornado alley and green was not the cause of tornadoes.

    A green sky doesn't mean a tornado is coming, it means it's likely.

  • @techgod-h7b

    yep it basically means that for the sky to turn green indeed means a tornado is coming and so what

      @greenpixie1110 3 месяца назад

      Can you elaborate on which chemicals turn the clouds green or what you know about green clouds? They was a recent superstorm in Dubai with green clouds. Initially there was information that it was cloud seeded, but now everyone is backpedaling superfast with all of the damage caused by the rain.
