When the Sky Turns Green
Narrated by Marc Scott, this short delivers clear, confident extreme weather documentary narration that explains why the sky can turn green before the worst storms. If you produce science, severe weather, or natural‑disaster docs, you’ll hear exactly how I make complex moments feel human—and memorable.
When the sky turns green… run. On July 5, 2022, Sioux Falls, South Dakota looked up to a glowing green sky. Minutes later, a derecho hit—100+ mph winds, power outages, widespread damage.
That eerie green isn’t folklore—it’s physics. In very dense storm clouds, sunlight scatters through hail and rain, filtering the sky into a sickly green hue. It doesn’t happen often. But when it does, it usually means something violent is coming. Next time the sky turns green… don’t stop for a photo.

When the sky turns green…
Run.
On July 5th, 2022, residents of Sioux Falls, South Dakota looked up and saw something terrifying: a glowing, green sky. Minutes later, a derecho slammed the city—100+ mph winds, power outages, destruction.
But here’s what’s wild: that green sky is real science. It happens when storm clouds are so dense, they scatter sunlight through hail and rain—filtering the sky into a sickly green hue.
It doesn’t happen often. But when it does, it usually means something violent is coming. So next time the sky turns green… don’t stop to take a picture.
