[SixClub] Question about Multi-Hop ES?

[kd4e]

I am seeing a ton of QSO's labeled Multi-Hop ES here:

http://www.vhfdx.net/spots/map.php?Lan=E&Map=NA&Frec=50&mycall=KD4E&myloc=EL88&freq=50125&prop=

If I go here I see a bunch of storm cells in the path
of those QSO's:

Are these storm cells the reason for the Multi-Hop ES?
