Florida woman finds wedding ring in Hurricane Ian aftermath

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN)- The Garner family found hope after finding a missing wedding ring.

Ashley Garner had lost her ring outside of her Fort Meyers home just days before Hurricane Ian.

The family remained at their home during the storm and went to clean up outside after it passed.

“We’re about 10 minutes into cleaning, and my husband is cleaning up the brush and the trees right next to the garage door,” Garner said. “There’s a pile of brush and trees, and he moves over one pile, and the ring was right there.”

Garner couldn’t believe that the ring was found through all of the destruction caused by 150 mph winds.

“I just sat on the curb, and I prayed to God and thanked him for providing and giving us a sign that there’s hope for the community,” Garner said.
