FOX News is shinning a spotlight on one of their hero weathermen. Hurricane Helene has brought some devastating weather through the East Coast, and one woman in a life-threatening situation was saved by meteorologist Bob Van Dillen as he was doing a live weather report.
As the Category 4 storm tore through the city, many roads began to flood, with the waters quickly rising. “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,” Dillen told the Fox & Friends studio hosts as he was reporting live.

The woman could be heard screaming for help in the background, with Van Dillen eventually advising that he “just called 911” and “the fire department is coming.” He then attempted to comfort her by letting her know help was on the way, before telling the studio team, “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.”
In a video shared by FOX News, the on-site camera crew captured footage of Van Dillen heroically rescuing the terrified woman and carrying her on his back through chest-deep floodwaters. He eventually gave her one of his shirts so that she could try to get warmed up before an emergency crew came to help her.
