Mementoes of a southern Illinois couple's wedding and engagement have been found nearly 80km away after a tornado tore their home from its foundation. A bag containing an engagement picture, wedding day invitations and a bride's garter was whisked from Charlie and Kim Jacobs' home in Crossville, Illinois, when the tornado hit on February 28. She posted photos on Facebook - and was able to track the couple down about 90 minutes later, thanks to dozens of comments and the post being shared. Charlie and Kim Jacobs say they're amazed the photos and other mementoes travelled so far. The tornado was on the ground for more than 50 minutes in the area between Carmi, Illinois, and Oakland City, Indiana.
