Because it has been many years since I was able to regularly see these large storms (and it was only a curiosity to me then), I'll try to not let my imagination fill in details.

Yes, I agree the green is more of a cast to the sky not associated with an individual cloud. But on the other hand, I also remember it being well defined in the sky, framed by very dark cloud regions.

I don't think it is due to backscatter as by this time it is usually quite dark because the sun is obscured by the heavy cloud. And I wouldn't call most of this land very green anyway. I've never seen this in the east (opposite the sun)

I think more reliable observations by a more experienced person is need to give some clues. I'm going to give the weather bureau in Brisbane a call and see what they say Darryn Schneider
