OT: Photographs Raining From the Sky After Tornadoes

Dear Friends,

After the tornadoes in Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Kansas,
and elsewhere, meteorites were not the only things that people
found falling from the sky. Literally, 100s of miles from where
the tornadoes devastated entire towns, people have found the
personal photographs and documents of people raining from the
sky. One person is attempting to reunite these photographs and
documents with their owners as discussed in the below web 
pages.

Maybe it is not too late for meteorite hunters downwind of
the effected areas to help out in her efforts.
