Ah, good-o, you weren't ripped apart by a tornado then.
Not yet. More are still out there.
I was driving around Cherry Creek Dam on 25 when one hit.
First, the sky turned bright lime green. Then the sky just poured down rain in torrents.
I couldn't see anything.
It was like driving a submarine.
That green color has been reported by many people.
My future wife and I got hit by a line squall (essentially a horizontal tornado-force wind) once in Pittsburgh. We could see it coming. There was a horizontal dividing line in the sky. Above was purple-black. Below was yellow-green, surprisingly well-lit by sunlight.
We had loaded a small car with a bunch of stuff from a self-storage facility, and were trying to drive the mile or so to our apartment before it hit.
When it hit the rain was so intense that I couldn't see out the rear and side windows. Branches broken from trees traveled down the street like a line of automobiles.
Why does it look green?
Because tornadoes suck frogs and grasshoppers into the sky

Nope, they touched down a good ways north of here. Bad stuff.
As for the green sky (which I've seen several times in severe weather), Scientific Amerikkkan has the lowdown.
Green frogs and crickets. In little ice cubes. It is the way of my people.
isn't because god is puking? like you know after a bad night on the town actually.
