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.
Everyone loves Jennifer Aniston
While Jennifer Aniston seems to lead a charmed life, her reality is anything but flawless. Behind her glamorous exterior and friendly demeanor lies a story of personal struggles and professional hurdles.
Despite the challenges she has faced, Jennifer Aniston remains a stunning example of aging gracefully and has retained much of her charm from her early career days. However, recently leaked photos revealed a rougher side of her, showing her without makeup and with minor scars on her face.
These images remind us that even those we admire from afar have their own struggles and imperfections that we may not see. For celebrities like Jennifer, with constant media attention, it’s difficult to maintain even a semblance of privacy.
Jennifer’s path to success often came at the expense of her personal life. Yet her resilience and grace in the face of adversity continue to inspire many. Born in 1969 in Sherman Oaks, a picturesque area of Los Angeles, Jennifer dreamed of acting from a young age. Her family’s move to New York City enabled her to attend the prestigious Waldorf School, but high school was not easy, with strict teachers and threats of expulsion.
To make a living outside of acting, Jennifer took on a variety of jobs: waitressing, telemarketing, and even bicycle messenger around town. Despite numerous setbacks, including limited success with early television roles, she never gave up on her dream.
Her persistence paid off when she landed the role of Rachel Green in Friends. Her portrayal of Rachel became iconic, leaving a lasting impression on television audiences and earning her a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This role catapulted her to fame and cemented her position as one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses, especially after her highly publicized relationship with Brad Pitt.
Jennifer and Brad’s relationship began in 1998 and they married in 2000. Although their divorce in 2005 was difficult, they maintain a respectful and supportive friendship.
Recently, Jennifer has been vocal about her dissatisfaction with the way women are portrayed in Hollywood and the pressure of societal beauty standards. She uses her platform to promote female empowerment and showcase her natural beauty, frequently sharing makeup-free photos on Instagram, which have been widely praised.
Her stance on body positivity and disregard for conventional beauty standards has made her a role model for many. Jennifer’s refusal to conform to societal expectations underscores her commitment to embracing her true self and has earned her admiration beyond Hollywood.
A recent photo of Jennifer with no makeup and scars on her face, taken on the set of Cake, surprised many of her followers. Thankfully, this look was part of her role in the film and Jennifer has expressed her appreciation for being able to showcase her natural self.
Her performance in “Cake” once again proved her remarkable talent and charisma. While Jennifer Aniston continues to deliver outstanding performances in both film and television, she remains a captivating and inspiring figure, proving that true beauty and talent shine through regardless of outward appearance.
