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.
At 56, Julia Roberts causes stir as she debuts new hairstyle for fans – “not the same person”
Julia Roberts is known for her ever-changing hairstyles, and her latest switch-up may be the most eye-catching yet. The iconic actress, usually seen with darker hair, recently debuted luscious blonde locks on Instagram. The post garnered plenty of praise, but reactions on Facebook were mixed.
Some fans loved the new look, while others had reservations. Comments like “Not the same person,” and “Bleached blonde is not for her,” dominated the conversation. Others felt that “Red is so much prettier,” and one speculated, “She probably went with blond because she is grey. Blond covers grey better.”
Roberts has always been a trendsetter, and her hair transformations are no exception. Despite some negative feedback, her bold choices in style and fashion keep her in the spotlight.
Earlier this year, Roberts shared one of her biggest regrets in an interview with Vogue: not going to college. “I couldn’t. It wasn’t in my cards,” she revealed. “My family didn’t have the money. And I had no scholarship potential. That kind of thing.”
Roberts’ candid reflections and evolving style demonstrate her ability to surprise and inspire fans. Whether she’s donning dark locks or going blonde, the actress continues to make waves in the industry. Her latest hair transformation is just another example of her enduring appeal and ability to keep her audience guessing.
