Maybe not doom, but general anxiety - I'm in Texas which has fairly frequent tornados in the spring. There's a green tint, a smell, and a feeling in the air that puts everyone on edge.
Last time there was a tornader in Garland, lightning flashed and lit up the jade-green sky. My mother and brother stopped talking instantly, and we gathered the dogs in the Harry Potter room under the stairs.
'Nader didn't hit us, but it was still a shock to see the sky a color I've only seen in jewelry, or the random Pantone®© sample.
I appreciate you transcribing your drawl.

Total eclipse of the sun
I’ve seen a number of partials and lunar eclipses through my life but I drove out to see totality last year.
It was the textbook definition of awesome, it took my breath away in a way I still struggle to describe beyond the words doom and divinity. Took me months to shake it.
15/10 will absolutely travel for the next one if I’m not dead by then.
I drove at least a thousand miles to see the one that crossed the US in 2017. I agree with the awesomeness of it all- and despite being in the middle of nowhere, there were a lot of people around, so when totality began, there was this collective gasp that was almost as amazing as the eclipse itself.
