Not so gone with the wind
Except in fiction, rarely do tornado stories feature happy endings. But this tale out of Garland, Texas, rings true.
An insurance adjustor inspecting a roof for tornado damage in north Texas spotted a bright, shiny ring and Googled it: It turned out it was a precious memento of a former college soccer player who had lamented to television news crews last year that a tornado that swept through her town had blown all four of her college sports rings away, Dallas-Fort Worth’s NBC News affiliate reported Wednesday.
As insurance adjuster Jacob Kilcrease told a reporter, “It was like finding a needle in a haystack. … Something just kind of caught my eye. It was this silver ring shining. It had hit the main roof and kind of rolled down onto the flat patio roof.”
On Wednesday, he returned the Stephen F. Austin State University conference championship ring to Chelsea Raymond, who’s still looking for two lost rings after a neighbor found another one in the tornado debris.
“Ah, sweet,” said an excited Ms. Raymond outside a coffee shop in Dallas, as reported by the news station. “Yep, that’s one of them! Sweet! Awesome. Thank you so much!”
