he yelled over to her, then paused and sighed to the camera. &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna go see if I can help this lady out a little bit more, you guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He walked off camera. <\/p>\n<p>Moments later, the meteorologist could be seen wading through chest-deep water, carrying the woman on his back.  <\/p>\n<p>Afterward, Van Dillen \u2014 who is 6&#8217;1&#8243; \u2014 said he overcame his initial concerns about the current and the water temperature; it was warmer than he expected. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As soon as I started going there, I was like, &#8216;Screw it, I&#8217;m getting her,&#8217; and unbuckled her seatbelt, pulled her out, put her on my back and she was fine,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Everything worked out fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said the woman was OK, just cold. He gave her his shirt and put her in a car, where they waited for a firetruck and her husband. <\/p>\n<p>When the husband arrived, Van Dillen pointed him out to the camera. The man came over to hug and shake Van Dillen&#8217;s hand, thanking him repeatedly. <\/p>\n<p><em>This story <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/live-updates\/helene-florida-georgia-south-carolina-path#a-weather-reporter-rescued-a-woman-from-floodwaters-on-camera\"><em>originally appeared<\/em><\/a><em> as part of NPR&#8217;s live coverage of Hurricane Helene, September 27, 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/09\/27\/g-s1-25028\/helene-atlanta-weather-meteorologist-bob-van-dillen\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The streets are flooded near Peachtree Creek after hurricane Helene brought in heavy rains over night on September 27, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia.
