An American woman finds a photograph on her windshield sent hundreds of kilometres on the back of monstrous winds.
They came close to where she lives in New Albany, Indiana, across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. So she figured it must be debris from someone's damaged home.
"Seeing the date, I realised that was likely from a home hit by a tornado. How else is it going to be there?" Ms Posten said in a phone interview.So, doing what any 21st century person would do, she posted an image of the photo on Facebook and Twitter and asked for help in finding its owners.She said she was hoping someone on social media would have a connection to the photo or share it with someone who had a connection."A lot of people shared it on Facebook.
That man was Cole Swatzell, who commented that the photo belonged to family members in Dawson Springs, Kentucky, almost 210 km away from New Albany, as the crow flies, and 270km away by car. In Dawson Springs — a town of about 2,700 people — homes were levelled, trees were splintered and search and rescue teams continued to scour the community for any survivors.Watch
