As Hurricane Milton loomed, many Floridians fled their homes. Experts predicted violent storms and potentially devastating aftereffects. Without knowing what they would come home to, residents left and hoped for the best. Some returned to their homes to find minimal damage, and others tragically lost everything. One woman feels as if she experienced a bit of a miracle.

Hurricane Milton Destroyed Her Home, But Her Bible Stood Untouched
Fox News shared footage of the wreckage on Instagram, and the woman’s home appears to be a total loss. Trees fell on the roof, which collapsed, and the walls were ripped away. As she surveyed the heartbreaking damage, she saw something that gave her hope.
Her Bible sat on top of a piece of furniture. It wasn’t thrown on the ground, and the storm didn’t destroy its pages. Instead, it seems as if it was just as the woman left it before she evacuated her home.
There were plenty of skeptics in the comment section, but there were also believers.
This person had a similar experience. “When hurricane Ian came through Fort Myers in 2022, we left a Bible open on the counter, we ended up with 7′ of water in the home. When we came to check the house the next day our stuff was everywhere ( looked like it was put in a washing machine) but our Bible was opened on the exact same page lying in the middle of our living room.”
So did this person. “This is exactly what happened when my grandmother’s house was destroyed in an earth quake. An icon of the assumption of the Virgin Mary and the oil filled glass candle still burning found intact and in its original place along the rubble and destroyed house.”
And this, “I believe! Something similar happened to me in Puerto Rico in 2017 when Hurricane Maria, a Category 4 storm, devastated us.”
“God works in mysterious ways. So mysterious in fact, it may not make any sense at all,” someone wrote.
