Facebook Group Helps Tornado Victims Get Their Belongings Back

A Facebook group is helping the victims of the massive Oklahoma tornado, which killed 51 people and left many homeless, get their belongings back.

On its trail of destruction, the tornado has blown debris from houses -- including people's personal belongings and important documents -- many miles away.

The Facebook group asks members to post photos of any items or documents that were blown into their yard, so that they can be returned to the rightful owners.

"I'm just trying to help. I couldn't imagine losing my kids' pictures," Leslie Hagelberg, the group's founder, told The Huffington Post.

The group is going strong. At the time of this writing, it has 7,260 members, and dozens of items have been recognized by their owners. If you think you can help in any way, join the group, here.
