Today, deadly tornadoes preceded my visit to Massachusetts by a few hours. I hereby wish to send my condolences to the families of those killed by these recent tornadic storms – in addition to forwarding my condolences to any and all who may have ever lost loved ones to this type of natural phenomena, be any such loss a result of other recent tornadoes during this most difficult of years for these storms or anytime through the ages.

Tornado in City of Philadelphia, PA
Fox 29 (WTXF, Fox 29 News at 10) in Philadelphia and the NWS are reporting that an F-0 ("F-0," "F-Zero") tornado touched down in Northeast Philadelphia a few hours ago. Other than destroying some roofs (a beer/liquor distributorship), making a mess, and causing some general havoc, no injuries were reported. Winds were reported to be in excess of 75 miles an hour, the tornado was reported to be 30 to 50 feet wide, and the tornado survived on the ground for a duration of approximately 20 seconds. Being in the greater Phila. area this evening, and as they seemed to have done several times in the past, maybe the tornado gods were saying hello to me in their own special way? :)

519 Tornadoes to date in April, 2011.
April 24th, 2011
ABC News ‘Good Morning America’ reported this morning that there have been 519 tornadoes in the U.S.A. so far this month.

More tornadoes this month than any April on record

After-thought May 1st, 2011:
I haven't heard the final number, but after I blogged this number of tornadoes in April (519), there has been maybe a hundred more tornadoes [also in April, 2011].

241 Reported Tornadoes in a Single Weekend.
April 18th, 2011 (Monday)
As stated in many broadcast and print media sources, 241 tornadoes were reported this past weekend as severe storms moved across the U.S.A. My sympathies to those adversely affected by these storms. Also, I wish to hereby offer my condolences to the families of those killed by the latest rash of severe weather.
Regarding my tornado formation ideas, unfortunately, I am not in a geographic locale to monitor my tornado formation hypotheses. Someday, I hope to set-up a permanent monitoring station(s) to monitor the incoming weather conditions in light of my tornado formation hypotheses which may then shed some further light into the realistic tornadic potential of weather systems moving across the North American continent.

Yesterday’s Tornadoes in Kentucky and Indiana…
March 1st, 2011
Concerning the deadly tornadoes and severe storms that formed/touched-down yesterday in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, for whatever such might have been worth, unfortunately I am not in the west where I could even hope to monitor my tornado/severe weather prediction theories for the American Heartland.
AVT
At least 2 tornadoes touch down in Kentucky
http://www.kentucky.com/2011/03/01/1652115/storms-in-central-kentucky-prompt.html
Weather agency reports 3 tornadoes in Indiana
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-in-severestorm-torna,0,5219017.story
Tornado watch in effect
http://thedailysentinel.com/news/article_3145fafe-4351-11e0-9952-001cc4c03286.html
Worthy of note for historic purposes:
Tri-State Tornado
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-State_Tornado
“The Tri-State Tornado of Wednesday, March 18, 1925, was the deadliest tornado in U.S. history. With 695 confirmed fatalities, the tornado killed more than twice as many as the second deadliest, the 1840 Great Natchez Tornado. The continuous ≥219 mile (≥352 km) track left by the tornado was the longest ever recorded in the world: the tornado crossed from southeastern Missouri, through Southern Illinois, then into southwestern Indiana. While not officially rated by NOAA, it is recognized by many as an F5 tornado, the maximal damage rating issued on the Fujita scale”

Thousands of Birds Fall Dead From Arkansas Sky, Massive Fish Kill in Arkansas River, Lethal and Unusual Off-Season Tornadoes in the Same Region.
January 2nd, 2011; Sunday.
This past Thursday a reported massive fish kill was discovered in the Arkansas River – with an estimated 100,000 drum fish dead. The next night (Friday, New Year's Eve) a reported 1000 to 5000 red-winged black birds fell dead from the sky. No one knows the reason for either massive animal death toll or if the two events are related.
In between the massive animal-death related events, on Friday morning Arkansas also unfortunately experienced several deadly tornadoes - as did other areas and states in the path of the widespread and potentially tornadic storms. The resulting tornadic storms were quite widespread and particularly unusual and "rare" as they were considered to be "off-season" tornadic storms. (BTW, for whatever such might be worth, I am on the east coast and unable to monitor my tornado research/prediction ideas – due to no funds nor properly located equipment.) No one knows if the tornadoes are related to the animal deaths either. (However, not to appear as self-serving, but such animal-death related events could fit my potential tornado formation model, please forgive me as I believe such is also worth mentioning.) Regardless, I hereby wish to forward my sincere condolences to the victims and their families.
We can only wonder what is happening with any of these events or if we will ever know the truth of these matters. No officials have even surmised that the tornadoes could be related to the animal deaths, from the sources that I have read to this point in time. In reality, of course, I can barely begin to hypothesize any definite answer as to the timing of these events either.
However, as much as I hate to even insinuate such, if our government officials knew what was happening with these animal-death related events or if there was - in fact - any correlation between the events other than being a possible result/precursor of the tornadoes, could we trust them tell us? Then again, maybe the answer is not available to, nor will it come from any bureaucrat.

This evening, Philadelphia's WCAU Channel 10 News at 11 reported and quoted Arkansas Fish & Game/Wildlife Officials as saying that the massive animal-death related events are probably unrelated. I would respond that they are most likely related but in a manner that these officials either don't understand or don't want us/the public to know. What say you, blog reader/America?
