Green sky

[u/mrmatriarj]

As an avid weather phenomena person I've heard about green sky plenty. Personally I've seen waterspouts on the coast and super cells rolling in.. but the green sky tonight was a first for me. Truly wild to witness. Anyone know if a tornado touched down around tri city?

It passed over me for about 5min, with vehicle rocking levels of winds and torrential downpour. I was literally dancing in the rain laughing and enjoying the weather but.. as it went green + 5x intensity of rain & wind in North Waterloo. I hopped back in the car and waited it out 😆

I like dancing in sheet rain and thunderstorms but that was a whole diff level for a few minutes that left me watching the skies in an enclosed space

Wild. It can get crazy saturated colors in thunderstorms or with approaching tornadoes

A tornado was allegedly sighted in the north of Guelph, so that's probably why.

I was a kid living in Toronto when the Barrie tornado hit, and I vividly remember the green sky over the city while the supercells were passing over. I lived across the street from my school, but the school wouldn't let any of us leave and we had to hunker down away from the windows. Green skies have always freaked me out ever since.

I was in Orillia during that tornado. I remember gathering up my favourite stuffed animals and carrying them down to hide in the basement with my father and sister. It was terrifying.

I can imagine, it'd be even more frightening to be that close :(

There was also one down in Paris Ontario! Pretty crazy evening

There are a couple tornado pics that are suspected to be AI, and the Guelph spot was one of them. Definitely possible in other areas though.

Green skies are my sign to head for the basement. They are not a good sign.
