Hurricane Milton Unearths Florida Man's Long-Lost Wedding Ring

A Florida couple finds a silver lining in the storm's aftermath as a missing wedding band reappears after nearly a decade.

  • Laura and Basil Yorio evacuated their Palm Bay home before Hurricane Milton hit as a Category 3 storm.
  • Upon returning, Laura discovered her husband's wedding ring, lost during a construction project nine years ago, in their yard.
  • The couple had searched for the ring multiple times over the years without success until the hurricane's impact brought it to the surface.
  • Hurricane Milton has caused significant destruction in Florida, leaving at least 17 people dead and millions without power.
  • The storm follows Hurricane Helene, which struck Florida's Big Bend region in late September, resulting in over 200 deaths.
