SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida, causing significant damage, particularly in Sarasota, and is projected to have economic effects of about $30 billion, impacting both public and private insurance sectors. Former state Senator Jeff Brandis discussed the challenges of the ongoing insurance crisis, noting that private insurers could face a $25 billion hit, complicating rate reductions. In the political landscape, candidate Joe Saunders aims to challenge incumbent Republican Fabian Basabi in the House District 106 race. Saunders criticized Basabi’s record on key issues like gun safety, abortion rights, and local governmental authority, asserting a need for better representation in the legislature.

SUMMARY: After Hurricane Milton, Laura and Basil Yoro returned to their Palm Coast home and discovered a surprising treasure: her husband’s wedding ring, lost nearly a decade ago during a construction project. While surveying storm damage, Laura noticed a glint in the dirt, revealing the long-missing ring. Despite multiple searches over the years by landscapers, it had remained hidden until the hurricane’s rains unearthed it. Though they acknowledge the hardships others face due to the storm, the couple delight in the reunion with the emblem of their marriage, which, aside from some scratches, is in great condition.

After a challenging few days, Laura and Basil Yorio found a surprising silver lining following their evacuation from Hurricane Milton. Upon returning home to assess the damage, they discovered something unexpected in their backyard.
