A weather TV reporter in Atlanta has interrupted his live report about Hurricane Helene to rescue a woman from a vehicle stranded by rising floodwaters. Video of the live shot shows FOX Weather meteorologist Bob Van Dillen saying he has called 911. The woman can be heard screaming as he tries to assure her that help is on the way. He then tells the camera that he’ll be back because he’s going to try to help her himself. Van Dillen told Fox News later in an interview that he dropped everything, took his wallet out of his pants and waded through the water to the woman.
