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.

Carol, oh Carol! The 1969 movie Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice explored the topics of faithfulness and honesty in marriage, and at the conclusion it showed a more free-spirited couple trying to switch wives with their more traditional friends. The stakes suddenly seem a little higher when you learn that Natalie Wood, the sexy woman in a paisley bikini, is involved. Wood portrayed Carol, a woman who had made up her mind to tell her husband Bob (Robert Culp) everything, even about their extramarital affairs. Ted (Elliott Gould) and Alice (Dyan Cannon) weren’t too fond of the concept, but Alice demands to switch partners in one of those real-life movie-world intellectual exchanges. It works for a little while before failing.
