A beloved father of four made a tearful call to his wife moments before he drowned in a devastating Florida flood — desperately declaring, “I don’t know what to do,”  according to his heartbroken wife.Joshua Bennett, 34, was on a coffee run Monday when his truck suddenly became submerged in wild, riverlike floodwaters ripping through Palm Bay, his wife, Stacy Bennett, told the local station WESH2.“He called me on FaceTime, and he was just crying like, “I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to do,”‘ she said. “He said he’s in the middle of a river, and his car was submerged with water all around.”She frantically urged her husband to smash his truck window and escape — but the call suddenly dropped. In a panic, she called 911 and spent hours trying to get help for him, to no avail, the station reported.Richards, who became trapped in the car on a suburban street, was later found dead, according to Palm Bay police.He was one of two people who died this week in the historic Florida storm — which slammed parts of the state with up to 20 inches of rain in just 12 hours, officials said. Hundreds of other Floridians reportedly had to be rescued.Bennett’s grief-stricken widow called him an “amazing husband and dad,” who fathered twin girls born prematurely.“He has a son and three daughters.He was super obsessed with them.

He loved to do activities with them,” said Stacy Bennett, who met him while they were studying bio pre-med in college.Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
