Amid the destruction from Hurricane Milton in Florida, a couple found something special. Laura and Basil Yorio from Palm Bay had to leave their home before the hurricane hit on Wednesday, Oct. 9, as a Category 3 storm. When they returned, Laura was surprised to find Basil’s wedding ring in their yard. He had lost it nine years earlier during a construction project.
“It was just sitting there, a little buried in the dirt,” Laura said, thinking at first it was a key ring
The jewelry Laura found sticking out of the ground turned out to be Basil’s missing wedding ring, which had “disappeared” during a construction project nine years ago. Despite years of lawn care and searching, the ring never showed up—until now.
Laura shared a photo of the silver ring with WOFL, showing how it was hidden in the grass. “We’ve been over this yard a thousand times in the last nine years,” she said. “We even have a landscaper who comes every week. Still, nothing.”
Laura believes the hurricane caused the ring to finally surface. She added, “We know a lot of people are dealing with really tough things right now, so I feel a little guilty being happy, but it was something good that came out of all this.”
How to Help the Victims of Hurricane Milton
Hurricane Milton hit near Siesta Key on Wednesday, causing major damage. As of Friday, at least 16 people have died, according to CNN and NBC News. Five of those deaths happened because of a tornado in St. Lucie County. In total, 19 tornadoes hit the state as the hurricane moved inland, according to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
About 1.5 million people in Florida still don’t have power as of Saturday, Oct. 12, according to PowerOutage.us.
Since the hurricane, hundreds of people have been rescued, including 135 from a senior living home in Tampa, 500 from an apartment building in Clearwater, and more from a Holiday Inn in Plant City.
This comes after Hurricane Helene, which struck the Big Bend region on Sept. 26, killing over 200 people.
Meg Ryan’s Shocking Transformation: See How She Looks Now After Quitting Acting!
Meg Ryan was born in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1961. Her parents got divorced when she was a teenager, which made life tough for her.
But Meg’s charm and talent shone through, and she became a big star in Hollywood. You might remember her from movies like Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail.
People loved Meg Ryan because she was both pretty and kind. She became known as “America’s sweetheart” because of her popularity.
After becoming famous, Meg Ryan chose to step back from acting and spend more time with her family. This decision came after her well-known relationship with actor Russell Crowe, which caused a lot of attention until they broke up for good.
Because of this, Meg decided to take a break from being in the public eye to avoid more issues.
Meg Ryan’s acting journey began while she was studying journalism at the University of Connecticut and New York University. She started acting in commercials.
Later, Meg starred in the movie Innerspace, where she met her future husband, Dennis Quaid.
Meg Ryan made her acting debut in the movie Top Gun, where she played the wife of Nick “Goose” Bradshaw, played by Anthony Edwards. Meg and Anthony had a romantic relationship while filming, which lasted for some time.
Director Joe Dante thought Meg’s success in Armed and Dangerous, where she starred alongside John Candy, was a big deal for her career. That’s why her role in Top Gun was important.
Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid, her co-star from Innerspace, felt an instant connection. They described it as feeling like a bolt of lightning. But after ten years of marriage, they got divorced.
There were rumors that Meg Ryan was dating her co-star Russell Crowe before her divorce. Meg said her marriage ended because of her husband’s affair, not because of Crowe.
Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid seemed like a perfect couple, but their marriage ended after eight years. In an interview, Meg talked about how her husband’s affair hurt her.
Even though Meg said Russell Crowe wasn’t to blame for her breakup, Dennis Quaid disagreed. He said he couldn’t believe she kept talking about their relationship in public.
While Meg Ryan said their marriage wasn’t healthy, Dennis Quaid said they still loved each other and had good memories of their 13-year marriage.
Even though they got divorced, they still support each other publicly. They also have a son named Jack, who’s now in the movie business. You might recognize him from The Hunger Games.
Meg Ryan has been acting for a long time and has been in many movies, like When Harry Met Sally.
In 2006, Meg Ryan decided to grow her family and adopted a 14-month-old girl from China named Daisy.
Meg said that even though adopting Daisy was different from having her son Jack, she still felt the same love and connection.
Meg Ryan hasn’t been in the spotlight much lately because she took a break from acting. But her friends say she’s thinking about coming back to Hollywood.
Even though she’s 60 years old, Meg still looks youthful and radiant. We’re excited to see her on the big screen again soon!
