Living in Texas I've had the sky turn green on me a few times. Those are the only times I get worried.

Also got caught up in golf ball sized hail while hiking in Philmont. We got to our campsite and set up a blue tarp between a couple of trees. But we were tired so we just sat around the empty fire ring for a little while before putting up tents. Lots of thunder rumbling around, and every now and then I'd hear something crashing through the trees. Finally I told everybody to be quiet for a minute because I didn't know what was making that noise. A couple of seconds later a giant hailstone landed in front of my feet. Needless to say we all got pounded pretty good because blue tarps don't exactly give a lot of shelter and it pretty much unloaded on us a minute or so later.
