Bible found in tornado wreckage returned home

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - A Bible found in the wreckage of the Alabama tornadoes is finally going home.
      
Dorothy Scarborough found the Bible in June when she pulled over her car near Cedar Crest to photograph damage from the April 27 twister.

She tried to find the owner, writing a letter to the Tuscaloosa News asking for help and listing some of the names that had been inside.

She eventually tracked down Shikeidra Abrams, who had moved to Atlanta after her home in Holt was destroyed in the tornado. They failed to connect. But on Thursday, Scarborough tried again and
reached Abrams.

Abrams told her it had been her late father's Bible and she would love to have it back. Scarborough said reuniting the Bible with its owner closes a chapter of the tornado.
