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.

What is not right in the picture?
Do you feel up to the challenge? Let’s put your observational skills to the test and see if you can identify the problem with the image! Testing our abilities and learning the details that we may have missed is always enjoyable. Are you prepared now? Now let’s investigate and see what’s off!
We’ve identified the oddity in the image after carefully examining it: the door hinges are on the other side. That is the primary aspect of the image that is incorrect.
Isn’t it amazing how a seemingly insignificant feature, like the location of door hinges, can drastically alter how someone perceives an image?
We can become increasingly aware of these minute variations in our environment by developing our observational skills. So, the next time you come across an image, look closely and see if you can identify anything that doesn’t look quite right! This enjoyable activity maintains our minds active and curious.
