Summary Facebook page attempts to reunite tornado victims.

A Facebook page started by an Alabama woman is reuniting victims of the killer US tornadoes with their precious family photos and documents.The page Pictures and Documents found after the April 27, 2011 Tornadoes, was created by Patty Bullion, a mother-of-three who lives in Lester, Alabama, near the border with Tennessee.The page featured more than 600 pictures and documents, many just scraps after the powerful winds picked them up and deposited them in streets and yards. Among the torn and rain-spattered documents posted on the site are birth certificates, wills, diplomas, utility bills, letters, checks and Valentines and Mothers Day cards. Besides family photos and documents, the page has also become a repository for people to share their own emotions following the tragedy.The page has been liked by nearly 50,000 people since it was set up in the hours after the tornadoes ripped through eight southern US states, killing over 300 people.
