Recognizing These Natural Disaster Warning Signs Will Save Your Life

Green Skies

In the summertime, it’s not unlikely to catch a green/aquamarine sky above you. This occurs when there are high, dense stormclouds developing while the sun sets and changes the color of the sky from blue to orange. This orange mixes with the blue/gray of the clouds to make an eerie green color, which should be your indicator to run for cover. If the sky is green, it’s highly likely that there is a violent storm cell developing in the upper atmosphere, increasing the potential for hail and extreme wind.
