Tornado

There are lots of people who are stormchasers - I always think they must be out of their minds chasing tornadoes! The closest I’ve ever been was about a 20 minute drive away - I was in far north Des Moines and the tornado hit in Ankeny - in an area where they were building brand new homes if I remember right - I do remember I was babysitting my older sister’s kids and my daughter - I don’t think I had my son yet. Anyway, the light was a sickening green … it looked terrible and so very frightening!

In Iowa, there are basements and cellars for sheltering from these violent unpredictable storms. I’ve spent many an hour in one during the summer especially - a finished basement that is just like the rest of the house is not bad … but unfinished basements … full of bugs / insects … rodents … eeeek - perhaps even snakes - I do not like those types of basements (cellars are usually much worse - they are CAVES dug out of the earth and shored up or some only packed) and I had to be REALLY petrified out of my wits before I could force myself into either one. My understanding is that there are tornadoes generated in the Texas hurricanes though no one really mentions them during hurricane conversation. We do have a few tornadoes here … not many … and there aren’t basements in every house here … it could be full of seawater if we did :)

Panavia Luftwaffe Tornado esfn037w

Panavia Luftwaffe Tornado esfn037w

$169.95

Panavia Luftwaffe Tornado esfn037w Collectors Quality Handcrafted Desktop Model Aircraft. All models come with black base stands and decal name plates. Model Scale: 1/48 Wingspan: 12 1/8" Length: 15" These beautiful handmade authentic replicas are made from the very finest grade of select kiln-dried Philippine mahogany wood. The replicas are made entirely by hand, from the hand carving of the fuselage, wings and tail section - to the sanding of the aircraft’s contours. Every part is assembled precisely into place using the highest quality adhesive available. After shaping and sanding, the model passes through several stages of priming and sanding before it is hand painted to duplicate the actual colors of a selected historical aircraft. Artisans detail from researched reference materials, including all the insignias, squadron badges, nose art, emblems and serial numbers to replicate the original aircraft to scale. Hand-made rockets, missiles, and drop tanks are correctly reproduced to represent real weapon loads for the various aircraft and to give the model an enhanced value. Next, multiple coats of clear lacquer are applied to protect the exquisite artwork and provide an overall glossy finish.
