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.
Jennifer Lopez Snaps Selfies and Poses on Bow of a Boat in Italy During Solo Summer Vacation
Amidst marital difficulty, the singer has been enjoying a holiday overseas sans husband Ben Affleck.
People, grab your sun hats because Jennifer Lopez is having the time of her life while on a summer vacation by herself in the gorgeous countryside of Italy! Jenny from the Block is out here taking selfies and enjoying the Mediterranean sun, so forget about the drama, marital problems, and rumor mill that never stops spinning.
Jennifer Lopez is vacationing in Italy and is truly living the good life! On Thursday, the 54-year-old Atlas star was spotted relaxing topside on a Mediterranean yacht with pals. Oh yes, my dear reader, she was living the high life as she made her way down a rocky beach pathway (not a single Instagram filter in site!) to get on a tiny dinghy that would take her to her floating paradise.
Imagine J. Lo sporting a gorgeous little woven purse, matching heels (because why not? ), gold accessories, and a white one-piece swimsuit. She was sitting on the chairs, taking pictures of herself and posing as though she ruled the Mediterranean.
It’s more than just a lighthearted spectacle. Lopez postponed her concert tour, according to Live Nation, on May 31 in order to spend more time with her kids, relatives, and close friends. How about putting the important things first? Affleck is currently in the United States, managing their seven children and focusing on his most recent endeavor, The Accountant 2.
Her trips around Italy are now legendary. Lopez is a holiday pro, from sun-kissed days on yachts to glitzy evenings in Milan. She was spotted showing off her abs only last Tuesday while sporting a cream-colored bandeau top and matching shorts. Italy truly knows how to make a girl feel special!
It’s not her first time to Italy, either. The celebrity has long been a fan of the nation, praising its charm and attraction in a number of interviews. Among her famous Italian adventures include her 2022 honeymoon with Affleck, which included trips to Milan and Lake Como, and a 52nd birthday celebration on a boat off the Amalfi Coast.
