Missing Key West Sign Finally Makes Its Way Home

After disappearing during Hurricane Irma's visit through South Florida, the sign welcoming Key West visitors to "Paradise U.S.A." is finally back home.

News outlets reported Thursday that an unidentified couple dropped the sign off at a Fort Myers dock, some 300 miles away. 

The dock is used by the Key West Ferry Express, which has regular service to the island.

The ferry company agreed to take it back home where it was greeted Thursday by Key West police officers.

Prior to disappearing, the sign was last seen on the ground after being knocked down by Irma on Sept. 10.

It was an $8,000 gift from the local Rotary Club.
