Florida dad makes final FaceTime call to wife before dying in flash flood

Fox News - Fri, 11/06/2026 - 21:02

A Florida father died after his vehicle became trapped in flash floodwaters, with his wife now sharing the details of a desperate final call before his death.

Joshua Bennett, 34, of Palm Bay, died Monday after heavy rainfall triggered flooding in Brevard County, along Florida's east-central coast.

Bennett had reportedly left home to buy coffee when he encountered the rising floodwaters, according to WESH 2 News.

MOM OF 2 WHO DIED RESCUING SONS DURING BAHAMAS SNORKELING TRIP IS IDENTIFIED

His wife, Stacy Petit Bennett, told the outlet her husband called her in a panic as his truck became surrounded by floodwaters on San Filippo Drive.

"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,'" Stacy Petit Bennett said.

"And he said he's in the middle of a river, and his car is, like, submerged with water all around."

Stacy Petit Bennett urged her husband to break a window before the call abruptly disconnected. She said she called 911 and spent hours trying to get help for her husband.

Bennett's widow described him as an "amazing husband and dad."

"Every life is important, and everyone deserves a chance to be rescued. To be saved. He was just 34 years old. His kids are young," she said, according to WESH 2 News.

Bennett was a father of four, including three children with special needs, according to his wife. 

His children include twin daughters who were born prematurely.

His wife said their children have been asking when their father would be coming home.

Houston mayor says 'elections matter' as he moves to curb city's cooperation with ICE

Just days after a blue tsunami overtook Texas' political landscape, Mayor John Whitmire is already prepared to bring changes to Houston, starting with an executive order limiting HPD's contact with immigration law enforcement.

During a surprise news conference Friday, Whitmire announced the order with HPD Chief J. Noe Diaz, saying HPD will change how officers cooperate with ICE under SB 4.

"ICE will only be contacted if someone commits a jailable offense," Diaz said.

I have signed an executive order directing HPD to no longer contact ICE, helping reduce fear in our communities. Thank you to Chief Diaz, our state and local leaders for their collaboration. A step toward building a stronger Houston. Let's Go to Work. https://t.co/wzzoZxT70v

- Houston Mayor's Office (@houmayor) November 6, 2026

"I was on the Senate floor when SB 4 was approved. I voted against it," Whitmire said. "I voted no because we were concerned about the fear, the anxiety that it would create."

Whitmire said the election results give Houston more room to change its policies while maintaining his commitment to public safety.

"It's easy for critics to say fight them back, when they don't have to pass a city budget," Whitmire said. "Elections matter."

And while Republicans still control the Legislature for another couple of months, Whitmire made clear he intends to push back.

"I will take the responsibility even with the current administration in office for the next two months," Whitmire said. 

The move comes after several incidents involving ICE in Houston, including one man who was fatally shot by an ICE agent during a traffic stop and another man who was hospitalized after being struck by an ICE vehicle. Still, Whitmire pointed to Houston's relative lack of turmoil compared with other cities where the National Guard has been deployed.

People attend a vigil and celebration of life for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old Mexican construction worker who was fatally shot during a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation, in Houston, Texas, on August 7, 2026. The son of a Mexican man fatally shot by US immigration officials in Texas demanded an investigation, with a leading civil rights group calling it a "possible murder." Lorenzo Salgado was killed by an ICE officer in Houston, Texas, early on July 7, marking the first fatal shooting involving US immigration officers since two January killings in the northern city of Minneapolis that drew national headlines.

"I believe this will be the model for Texas cities. It's been a challenge, but we've done it," he said. "It'll reduce the fear and anxiety and not just in some of our communities but all across Houston." 

The mayor also pointed to his longtime relationships with incoming state leaders, including Senfronia Thompson, who is in the running for Texas House speaker and was a "freshman" lawmaker with Whitmire in 1973.

"I will take that responsibility," Whitmire said when asked how he'd respond to federal pushback. "I am doing what's in Houston's best interest...I understand there's risk...I wouldn't be surprised if I get some calls."

"The reason I'm here is because I care about Houston," he added. "I will take that risk and I know I'm doing right."

Bellinghams celebrate ‘beautiful story’ as Jobe joins Jude in Tuchel’s England 2.0

The Guardian News - Fri, 11/06/2026 - 21:00
  • Jude had asked head coach to scout Dortmund midfielder

  • ‘It will be beautiful for Jude to have his brother close’

Thomas Tuchel has given a first England call-up to Jobe Bellingham, admitting the midfielder’s older brother, Jude, had nagged him to do so, as he set up the prospect of their family dream being realised.

Tuchel’s inclusion of the younger Bellingham for the Nations League ties against Croatia and Spain was further evidence of his shift away from the squad that served him well at the World Cup last summer and towards a fresh dynamic for the mission to win Euro 2028. The manager has named a 25-man group for the game against Croatia at Wembley on Thursday and the one against Spain in Madrid three days after; of the 22 outfield players, only 11 were at the World Cup.

ECB forecasting losses of up to £50m in 2027 despite visit of Australia for the Ashes

The Guardian News - Fri, 11/06/2026 - 21:00
  • Concern among counties due to reliance on ECB funding

  • Optimism that eventual figure could be reduced to £35m

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is forecasting losses of tens of millions of pounds next year despite hosting the Ashes, with county executives told last week that the deficit could be as large as £50m.

The anticipated shortfall, after posting a profit of £12.6m in 2025, is due to a combination of the cyclical nature of the governing body’s media revenues, which is largely determined by domestic opposition, and a recent decision by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to withhold a portion of the broadcast payments owed to members that it had been due to distribute in 2027.

Want to have a better chat? Scientists say the secret is ‘pink noise’

The Guardian News - Fri, 11/06/2026 - 21:00

The most enjoyable conversations strike a balance between exploring a topic and pulling in fresh ideas, study finds

As an early stab at rules for conversation, Cicero did a fine job: watch your tone, never look bored, never lose your temper and never ramble on, particularly about yourself, he advised.

Now scientists have followed in the great orator’s footsteps and discovered a telltale signature of an enjoyable chinwag. The secret of a mutually satisfying exchange is a healthy dose of pink noise, they say.
