Meteorologist Rescues Woman from Rising Hurricane Helene Floodwaters During Broadcast: 'Couldn't Wait'
After waiting five minutes, Van Dillen took matters into his own hands and entered the chest-deep water. The meteorologist, who is from the area where the rescue occurred, said he simply “couldn’t wait anymore.” “She was getting panicked a little bit more because the water was coming up a little bit higher,” he added.
