This is what Denver International Airport looked like on May 21st with a hail storm. The 'green hue' can be detected although with the darkness (lack of sunlight) it is difficult.

Below a snow plow is noted to be removing the hail. That is an exceptional amount of hail.

DENVER - A large thunderstorm (click here) that moved over Denver International Airport property on Wednesday prompted a tornado warning, damaged jets and canceled, diverted and delayed dozens of flights.

Flights and security screenings were suspended while part of DIA was covered under the tornado warning. The warning did not include the airport terminal so passengers were not told to shelter.
Frontier Airlines said that 13 of its flights were canceled because of hail damage to six jets in its Airbus fleet."The aircraft remain out of service as our maintenance team performs inspections," Frontier spokeswoman Kate O'Malley said.
In all, 40 flights were diverted...
The voices of those filming the event from inside the terminal noted it was a fast moving storm.
