SARASOTA, FL - "I didn't know what to do."
These were words uttered by Florida pastor and Hurricane Milton survivor, Jay Parmenter, in the midst of the storm. Jay and his wife elected to stay and ride out the storm at home, in hopes of being among the first to help their neighbors in need.
"We're not in an evacuation zone. We have a block house. We have all the things that even the officials were saying, 'you don't have to evacuate if you have these things,'" said Jay. "We decided to stay home with our two kids, 9 and 7, so we can stay here and be ready to help out wherever was needed after the storm."
While the storm raged overhead, Jay looked out the window and noticed a red glow behind his shed -- a fire! "The county had just sent out a message that said 'We're not doing any more 911 calls' and I'm like, what do we do now?" recalled Jay.
"And that's I think the first time I got scared." Jay prayed and asked for God's protection. "All of a sudden a big flash happened, and the fire went out," he said. He believes that "God put out the fire and protected us from that."
After the storm passed, Jay and his family looked for ways to help their neighbors. And that's where you stepped in! You sent Operation Blessing to Jay's church with a semi-truck full of supplies. "As a church," Jay explained, "we teamed up with Operation Blessing."
