The owners of a family photo say tornado blew it 130 miles from home

The story of a recovered family photo is a bright spot in the tragedy caused by the tornados that roared through the Midwest and parts of the South Friday night. The huge tornado that hit Kentucky blew the photo some 130 miles away, where it landed on the car of an Indiana woman named Katie Posten. The New Albany resident told AccuWeather reporter Bill Wadell, "It almost looked like someone left a note on my car, and then I peeled it off and realized, 'Oh, this is a picture from a family.'" She added, "I mean instantly, it was like this has to be from a home that was hit last night." The photo was a black-and-white picture of a woman holding her son in her lap and was dated "1942." Posten shared the photo on her social media and tracked down who it belonged to in less than three hours. Cole Swatzell commented on Posten’s post, saying the photo belonged to members of his family who lived in the Kentucky town of Dawson Springs. Posten plans to deliver the photo personally.
