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.
Put Your Observation Skills to the Test!
Welcome, fellow observer! Today, we have a special challenge lined up just for you. Prepare to put your keen eye to the test and see just how observant you truly are.
A Tranquil Beach Scene
In this seemingly tranquil beach scene, a couple is enjoying a romantic date. They are holding hands while taking in the breathtaking view of the ocean. Everything appears perfect, but don’t be fooled – there are not one, but TWO major errors hiding in plain sight.
Time to Unveil the Mistakes
Let’s take a closer look at this picture-perfect scene. The first error becomes apparent when you notice the presence of not one, but TWO moons in the sky. That’s right, a full moon and a crescent moon – an absolute impossibility! It seems like nature has played a little trick on us.
But that’s not all. The second mistake is a bit more subtle, yet equally noticeable once you spot it. Take a closer look at the couple’s hands – you’ll see an extra hand holding a phone. That’s quite a glaring mistake, isn’t it? It seems even the most idyllic images can have their fair share of discrepancies.
How Did You Fare?
So, how did you do in uncovering these tricky errors? Did you spot both the multiple moons and the extra hand? If so, congratulations on your observation skills! It’s not easy to catch these illusions.
If not, don’t worry – these illusions can be quite deceiving. Keep honing your observation skills and you’ll spot even the trickiest of errors in no time.
