Tornado carries dental gear 100 miles

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 24 (UPI) -- A Massachusetts orthodontist said invisible dental aligners belonging to a patient whose home was destroyed by a tornado turned up nearly 100 miles away.

Dr. Scott Smith of Springfield said a man from the Island of Tuckernuck called his office and said he found the aligners in a plastic bag on a beach and Smith traced the equipment to a patient whose Brimfield home was destroyed by a June 1 tornado, WWLP-TV, Springfield, reported Thursday.

"The fact that this can be picked up in the atmosphere and thrown in the atmosphere that far away, it shows you the raw power of nature, just unbelievable, incredible," Smith said.
