Residents in the town of Sioux Falls, South Dakota were probably a little nervous watching a huge storm turn the world around them green.

Footage shared online shows rolling clouds and a deep green hue that’s giving us strong Ozark-style vibes.

According to scientists, the strange phenomenon occurs when clouds carry a lot of water.

The blue light mixes with the sun’s red light, and the sky turns green.

And it makes for some quite a dramatic pictures when it’s happening right above your head.

Amazingly, it’s not the only cloud-based news story of the week.
