There is a Facebook page to help return possessions to the victims of the tornados.
http://www.facebook.com/PicturesandDocumentsfoundafterAprilTornadoes?ref=ts&sk=wall

People are finding pictures and document blown many miles away from their owners. I noted that there was a thread asking about how to return items found. I replied with this link on that thread but though this deserved its own thread.

2. That is a truly cool idea.
I never doubted that people would try to get the stuff back to the owners, but a Facebook clearing house? Smart!

3. I told this story here the other day
After a tornado in SW MO several years ago, my friend found a man's drivers license in her front yard here - 200 miles from where the tornado had hit. So she called the police in the town on the guy's license and they helped her figure out how to get his license back to him.

Turned out the license had been in his wallet and his wallet was on top of his dresser. He had not thought to grab it when he went to his basement when the storm sirens blew. His house was destroyed and he thought he'd never see his wallet or license again. But the license was intact, no harm done and laying in my friend's yard a few days after the storm. 200 miles away.

Just bizarre.
