Weatherman Bob Van Dillen likely knew it was going to be an eventful night covering Hurricane Helene for Fox as the Category 4 storm made landfall, but he couldn’t have imagined just how eventful it would get.
Van Dillen was doing a live national standup in Atlanta early this morning with a flooded roadway as a backdrop.
“You can see right here we’ve got this lady that drove into the area that’s flooded out and she’s screaming right now,” he told the Fox & Friends studio hosts. After describing the scene for a few more seconds with the sound of the woman’s voice in the background, Van Dillen told the audience, “I just called 911. The fire department is coming.”
He then turned to try and comfort the woman assuring her help is on the way before cutting his live shot short, telling the studio, “It’s a situation. We’ll get back to you in a bit. I’m going to see if I can help this lady out.”
Cut to video of Van Dillen carrying the woman on his back through chest deep floodwaters before literally giving her the shirt off his back so she could get warm.
Van Dillen wasn’t the only hero who braved the storm.
A U.S. Coastguard rescue helicopter flew out into the hurricane to save a man and his dog on a disabled sailboat.
Elsewhere, on Atlanta resident was caught on video using a sleeping air mattress as a life raft as rescue workers patrolled the chest-high floodwaters saving people.

Renowned actor and singer Barbra Streisand recently expressed her dissatisfaction with the current administration and her concerns about the potential presidency of a certain candidate.
In an interview on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert, Streisand, who previously campaigned for Hillary Clinton, mentioned her intention to leave the United States if that candidate secures the presidency.
When asked where she might consider moving, Streisand casually mentioned England as a possible destination. This is not the first time she has discussed the idea of relocating. In 2016, she had also mentioned Canada as a potential option if the same candidate won the presidency.
It is worth noting that Barbra Streisand, along with other celebrities likе Cher, Bryan Cranston, and Amy Schumer, had previously promised to leave the country if the candidate won in 2016. However, despite the election results, they ultimately chose to stay in the United States.
While celebrity voices often inspire conversations and discussions, it is important to remember that personal decisions regarding residency are subjective and can change over time.
