Just wanted to add a fun lesson/trivia on clouds... Green clouds do not necessarily mean a tornado is coming. It means a tornado could happen, just like any thunderstorm in the right atmospheric conditions could produce a tornado.
Green clouds simply happen when the blue light from the high water content in thunderstorm clouds absorbs the red light from the sky, particularly during sunsets. It also happens that these deep thunderstorm clouds can also produce tornadoes. You can also have green clouds without tornadoes, and tornadoes without green clouds.
Essentially, it's more correlation than causation. For example, high ice cream sales typically correlate with sunglasses sold, but one doesn't cause the other.

I got 5/6 but only because the "right" answer for Q1 is wrong.
Green clouds do not indicate a tornado. They do mean a strong storm of some form is on the way (which may well include a tornado), but none of the answers are right.
"High Humidity" is the least wrong answer - the green is caused by water absorbing red light, which requires high humidity,
5/6. I was able to answer some of the questions correctly, as I had read about cloudbursts a few days ago. Geography is one of my fav subjects. Also, most of the time my mind is in the clouds :-)
