Dutchsinse CALLED IT! These vortexes were triggered by weather modification equipment noticed to be active shortly before this new round of tornadoes.
GREAT COPY from DUTCHSINSE: "4/20/2011 -- 24-48 hours from now = Tornadoes / Severe weather Dallas, TX to Detroit From: dutchsinse | Apr 20, 2011 | 5,625 views in the next 24-48 hours .. from Dallas Texas to Detroit Michigan.. the threat for tornadoes and severe weather based upon the "HAARP VLF UHF" rings appearing today.
I believe NEXRAD and X-band radar systems are being used in conjunction with VLF and UHF arrays based out of airports, prisons, reservoirs, quarries, and CEMETARIES!!! all have these stations nearby!
each of these locations has something else in common.
They all have NO FCC restrictions for their areas.. so limitless amounts of "frequency" can be used out of these locations.
I truely know and also "believe" that we are seeing the steering of storms using projected frequencies from the very same stations that also give us "radar" images.
Dual use facilities.
look at the locations on the VLF and Digisonde maps below.. all these locations have the "ring phenomenon" sever weather outbreaks and EARTHQUAKES!!
enjoy this first round of links.. let me know what you think.

an ACTUAL program to plot these signatures!!!!!! :
April 17, Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, suffered short-term heavy rainfall and windy weather. One houses were blown down by strong winds, the rescue workers rushed in the housing rescue residents under the rubble. The province's 21 cities and counties issued a blue warning signal thunderstorms and strong winds, Shenzhen and Guangzhou Panyu also issued a yellow rainstorm warning signal. According to weather station network monitoring, Guangdong, Guangzhou, Yunfu, Zhaoqing, Heyuan, Huizhou, and 11 counties recorded more than eight tornado winds, across the province recorded a maximum gust of 14. As at 19:00 on the 17th to statistics, the process has resulted in disaster Foshan City, 12 people were killed and 27 injured. Rough translation from Xinhua News Agency
This past weekend was not only devastating for Americans, I'm not learning through the "Google Of China", baidu.com that 12 lost their lives in Foshan, Guangdong, from wind, hail and tornadoes. I will post more on specific events as it's just to much wreckage for one post. And my insight that this was an under reported GLOBAL event is just dawning on me. Our mainstream news even keep under reporting the number of tornadoes as around 100, even though the official NOAA reports list more then 200.
Controlled reporting of a very large controlled action, I'm saying. Ionospheric engineering has reached a new level. Systems are controlled with frightening disregard to human life.
The severe weather is finally over as the monster system has played out. The atmosphere still looks to be held in a harmonic grid, but it is no longer being violently manipulated.
Approximatively 240 reported tornadoes over 3 days.
24 people have died.
Rest in peace.
Sunday, will be a day for the survivors to survey the horrendous damage from the worst tornado outbreak in memory.
New York Times has a good sumery here http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/04/17/us/tornado.html
Over that last 3 days, there have been a reported 206 TORNADOS!! Stretching from Oklahoma to the Virginias! There are still tornadoes touched down on the East Coast at this moment.
I'm kinda rushed and just phoning it in right now, but here are a few graphics..
An incredible amount of tornado activity is ripping through the southeast united states right now. I see more then 10 tornadoes at this moment. I am monitoring and I'll be updating this post live.
