The National Weather Service in Louisville released information late Sunday describing the pathway several tornadoes took across the evening hours of Friday and early Saturday morning.

UNDATED (AP) — It’s one of those human interest sagas you sometimes hear about in the midst of a disaster.
On Saturday, Kris Posten went to her car and saw something on her windshield. It was a black and white photo of a woman with a young boy on her lap. On the back, the words, “Gertie Swatzell & J.D. Swatzell 1942.” She learned the photo had been blown nearly 130 miles by winds that churned up tornadoes in the the middle of the U.S. on Friday.
Posten posted an image of the photo online to try to find the owners — and it worked.
Eventually someone said they worked with someone by the same last name and that man, Cole Swatzell, said the photo belonged to family members in Dawson Springs, Kentucky, where many homes sustained tornado damage.
Posten says she plans to return the photo to the family this week.
