It's scary and foreboding.

On rare occasions especially in strong supercells, the sky will appear to have a greenish tinge during thunderstorms. That is in most, if not all cases, an excellent sign that the storm contains hail, and probably large hail. The greenish color is caused by light (either sunlight, or in some instances the light of a lightning flash), refracting off the large ice particles suspended in the storm.

Its not the sky, its you turning green, when you see that thing coming at you. I really don't know, but it is true and I have seen that strange weather phenomenon. I have to admit it is a bit uncanny.

I suspect it is caused by an unusually high concentration of water droplets in the clouds. Basically, more water in the sky.

It's because of the hail that is being suspended in the violent updraft of the tornado.
