DANIA BEACH, Fla. ( NewsNation ) — The powerful waves from Hurricane Debby have uncovered a new mystery dating back to World War II.
A Florida woman is now searching for the writer or intended recipient of a message in a bottle dated March 4, 1945, which she discovered while cleaning up debris from the hurricane exactly one week ago.

Letter found in debris 730 miles away
Suzanne Flament-Smith believes she knows who the message was meant for nearly eight decades ago.
The letter, addressed to someone named Lee from someone named Chris, was written in cursive and is difficult to read, showing clear signs of wear from its long journey through the decades.
“It says ‘received your letter yesterday; was glad to hear from you. So, you got a little lit up the other day, well that is everything around here. They have a bar and really good beer,’” Flament-Smith read.
