IF YOU SEE THIS RUN!!!

something interesting has recently

happened in South Dakota it was all over

the Internet so perhaps you already know

about it in July of 2022 the sky in this

state suddenly turned green so what

happened there was it caused by a human

or by Nature let's find out

Tuesday July 5th 2022 shortly after a

heavy storm the sky over South Dakota in

the U.S was still overcast locals

finally went outside and saw that the

sky had an intense dark green Hue and

they'd never seen anything like that

before people said that it looked like

something straight up from science

fiction or even a horror movie

unsurprisingly South dakotans

immediately started spreading the news

all over social media people shared

their beautiful yet very eerie pictures

on Twitter they showed the sky over the

city of Sioux Falls and a few other

towns

even though it may look like something

Supernatural in reality this is not a

terrifying phenomenon at all it's a

simple play of the light and the

atmosphere something like this happens

quite rarely and usually means that

really bad weather is approaching

and that's also true to what happened in

South Dakota just before people started

sharing photos a thunderstorm swept

through the town of Sioux Falls this was

confirmed by the U.S Weather Service

this hurricane was terrible the wind

speed was about 100 miles per hour

according to the Buford scale on wind

speeds this is the fastest and most

destructive storm there are only 12

numbers on this scale and the maximum

wind strength starts at 73 miles per

hour

but why isn't this all over the news

then well because it's kind of a usual

thing for the residents

thunderstorms occur very often in the

United States especially in the warmer

months and one out of 10 such

thunderstorms can become something

serious like a tornado this one wasn't

an exception it was the so-called dereko

storm

is very widespread and long-lived it's

actually a combination of a fast-moving

group of severe thunderstorms and

downpours

people often say that a directo is as

strong as a tornado still there's a

difference between them a tornado is a

vortex a rotating column of air it's

usually about 500 feet in diameter

although sometimes its width can reach

up to 2.5 miles I don't envy those who

would stumble upon that but the main

point is that they rotate the wind moves

very fast in a circle near some

invisible Center

a duraco is a strong thunderstorm or a

system of strong thunderstorms with

straight line winds in other words it

doesn't spin instead the duraco chooses

a point somewhere and simply runs to it

like a very motivated marathon runner

if we compare a directo to an ordinary

tornado the ladder has six levels of

strength from 40 to 380 miles per hour

so a duraco is kind of like a small

average level one to two tornado usually

its speed is within the range of 73 to

113 miles per hour

and in both cases they can be

accompanied by severe thunderstorms

lightning and rain but still these are

different things

storm becomes a duraco if the damaged

Trail left by it exceeds 240 miles and

if the wind speed is at least 58 miles

per hour

it's quite difficult to predict it can

form even on a clear day when

meteorologists don't even anticipate any

storms and then the winds appear

Suddenly It's So surprising that they

may even feel explosive but the National

Weather Service tries to warn people at

least half an hour or an hour before

this happens so that residents have time

to prepare and hide

it wasn't any different this time the

storm swept through almost all of South

Dakota as well as the states of

Minnesota and Iowa the consequences were

quite serious more than 30 000 people

were left without electricity

fortunately people were fine

that's because the locals are pretty

used to duracos

however the green sky is something

different it became a very unusual site

for the locals everyone was wondering

why it happened was it a bad sign or a

normal weather phenomenon

well to be honest scientists don't have

an exact explanation but although there

are only assumptions they sound pretty

convincing

a green sky is a very rare phenomenon

most scientists think that this happens

when a powerful storm approaches the

area Before Sunset or Sunrise then the

sky will turn green in this area

NBC meteorologist Bill Karens who once

faced a similar event himself suggests

that the green Sky appeared because of

the huge hail before the storm

first let's talk about why the sky looks

blue or any other shade depending on its

mood in short the sun simultaneously

carries all the Rays of the color

spectrum it may seem white to us in

total but it actually has all the colors

at the same time

however these color waves all have

different lengths for example Blu-rays

are shorter than the other ones they

jump away from the ear molecules better

than the red waves so they reach us

faster

because of this on a regular clear day

the sky seems blue

at the same time red and orange color

waves are very long and move slower so

they're usually left behind but when the

Sun goes below the horizon or Rises the

Rays directions change and these waves

reach us better

it all means that even if the sun rises

and sunsets seem red and orange to us in

fact there are still blue and green

waves among them but they have to bounce

off something to reach us faster and

become stronger than the red rays

have you guessed what I'm getting at

this is where the water comes into play

clouds are made up of water droplets

when they become large enough but don't

fall yet for example due to strong winds

they affect how the light behaves in the

sky

large heavy storms mostly consist of

water and hail and water reflects blue

and green Rays best of all that's

exactly the reason why the water in

rivers and lakes seems bluish green to

us although in reality it's transparent

and yeah algae matter too

so there are a couple of key factors why

the sky may turn green first off the sun

should be at the Horizon level another

factor is that while the storm clouds

are approaching they shouldn't cover the

sky completely there still must be a

little room for the sun rays then barely

noticeable blue Rays jump up to storm

clouds they're repelled by water

droplets and hail mixing with the red

sunset they turn into a bright green

light and this green light is spreading

all over the sky

that's why in most of these cases when

the sky turns green people can only see

it in the evenings yeah it can also

happen in the middle of the day but

since the conditions are already quite

specific seeing something like that

during the day is even rarer

still if you see a green Sky you don't

need to panic it doesn't necessarily

mean that a terrible storm is

approaching the chances are high though

but still it's not a rule it can be just

heavy rain or a heavy hail

in other words if you see a green Sky

then you'd better hide and hide your car

however if you were lucky enough to see

the stunning sky from the comfort of

your own home it's indeed very exciting

if you get a glimpse of something like

that just know that you had a chance to

experience something very rare and

special some people said it was the most

incredible thing they had ever seen
