As millions of residents found themselves in the path of severe storms Tuesday, one state in particular received a colorful concoction in the skies as rain and hail fell.
Storms passed through South Dakota during the Tuesday afternoon hours, leaving behind considerable rainfall, hail and wind reports.
The most unique portion of the severe weather came in its particular hue, eschewing the typical gloomy grey skies for a green shade more in common with night vision goggles than daytime thunderstorms.

The hue covered the South Dakota hub of Sioux Falls throughout the late afternoon hours.
For an explanation of the sharp contrast in colors, meteorologists points to the late-afternoon fuel source of the storms.
“Thunderstorms tend to occur later in the day due (to) the sun’s energy during the day helping to fuel them,” Longley stated. “As we know, the sun appears more red later in the day as it approaches the horizon.”
Once light underneath tall thunderclouds is introduced, the combination of red sunlight and blue lights leads to the green colors engulfing the sky.
“Light underneath a tall thundercloud appears blue due to the scattering by water droplets,” Longley said. “When the blue light is illuminated by the red light from the setting sun, it appears green, which is why some thunderstorms have that greenish hue to it.”

Sioux Falls was slammed with more than 3 inches of rain within a few hours of the storms starting up Tuesday, while wind was also a top concern.
Top wind gusts reported in South Dakota Tuesday included a 96-mph gust in Huron, as well as immense gusts felt in Agar (91 mph), Ree Heights (87 mph) and Wall Lake (85 mph).
“Typically, severe thunderstorm wind damage tends to be much more localized to a part of a community, whereas this cluster of thunderstorms may create widespread damage over a much larger area,” AccuWeather Meteorologist La Troy Thornton explained.

How odd, green skies. It makes me think of the four horsemen in Revelations. The fourth one rides a green horse. King James version translates it as a pale horse, but the correct translation is green horse.
Highest blood donation in Eastern Mediterranean
Blood donation in Iran has long been done voluntarily as over 2.1 million Iranians donate blood annually, Bashir Haji-Beigi, the Blood Transfusion Organization spokesman, said on June 14.
There are currently 178 blood donation centers in the country, with Fars, Khorasan Razavi, Khuzestan, Tehran, and Mazandaran provinces having the largest number of blood donation centers, he stated.
While blood donation in 70 countries still depends on replacement or paid donors, Iran is the first country in the region that has enjoyed voluntary blood donation by 100 percent since 2007.
More than 85 percent of all donated blood worldwide is used to produce blood products, while the rate is 65 percent in Eastern Mediterranean countries. Iran ranks among the highest-income countries in terms of converting more than 97 percent of the blood donated by people to plasma-derived medicinal products (PDMP). This is because of WW3 is near Israel ordered all forces to be in state readiness and USA as well. Iran passed the red line indeed , we told you here many times. Iran terrorist regime must go is cancer of middle east without Iran world will be better for all… Rise UP Iranian inside Iran now time is agianst you all. Arm the oppositions to over throw the terrorist regime of Iran now. Last chance before WW3 is ignites?
Well i have seen it as well very this weekkend. I also saw rainbow with two cross over it… I have photoes for security reasons and fear of Ayatollahs even in this old good USA , we try send you. It was so peaceful look at the crosses over same clouds you all are talking abouting it. Today Russia ordered thier nuclear bombs to exercise for readiness. Why there is not a demonstrations in any where in the world for world peace and stop WW3? I guess we have duped us so good indeed?
I’ve seen skies turn green, blue, and orange with storms like these. Usually a tornado warning sign. I didn’t see the green ufo in that video. Love watching storms out here in the mountains. Got plenty of good pictures. Got one picture where we had a tornado warning with some serious dark blue clouds where a tornado almost formed.
Manuel,
Somebody attacked the Georgia guidestones devil monument.
Seen drone footage. Looks like a pillar is busted into pieces. Good news story for ya.
Common sight in tornado alley during tornado season. My kids would ask during storms “What color is the sky, momma? Is it green?” They would relax when I’d tell them it was blue or grey.
Some one with more “learnin’ ” than me tell me how red and blue make green. I’ve always been under the assumption that red and blue made purple and yellow and blue make green.
When the color is pigment, red and blue do make purple, but it is not the same when it is light.
Seen this a few times. Skies turn green, better head for cover, for sure.
