My mom is from Iowa during tornado warnings she'll just go outside tell us the clouds aren't green and then go back to whatever she was doing

She really said "I'm built different" huh

No idea but the rest of my mom's side of the family does stuff like that to make sense though Iowa has a lot of tornadoes

Even her own state says that's a myth. https://iowaweather.com/what-does-a-green-sky-mean/

My mom stands by it always says green tinted clouds means tornadoes

As a feller from Kansas originally, I can at least confirm that the green cloud thing is widely believed.
Every tornado I have ever seen was preceded by green sky and hail, so I kinda understand where folks are coming from.

Science has proven her wrong. You can find more websites on it if you like.
Being wrong at this means she could be DEAD wrong.

You should read the article you quoted. Sure green skies don’t always lead to a tornado per the article, but the article doesn’t 100% dismiss the phenomena either:
“However, thunderstorms that are large enough to produce a green sky, often are severe enough where they end up producing large hail and even tornadoes.”

This is true, but the idea that you HAVE to have a green sky to have a tornado is more what's in question here. The absence of a green sky does NOT mean the absence of a tornado, and to bet on that means you could end dead.
