Watch Videos Of Green Skies Over South Dakota & Sioux Falls

The huge derecho that ripped through South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa on Tuesday, July 5 was the second one to hit the area this summer. It was more of the same; hurricane-force straight-line winds, large hail, dangerous thunderstorms, and even a couple of tornadoes.

But the one thing that had everyone talking in the Sioux Falls area was the incredible green color of the sky behind the front. While a green sky during a thunderstorm isn't exactly rare, I would say the magnitude of this one was different. I certainly hadn't seen a green sky quite like that in the 25 years I've been in the upper Midwest.
