Not all heroes wear capes! This gave me the chills!

FOX Weather meteorologist Bob Van Dillen is being praised as a hero after rescuing a woman from her car as Hurricane Helene floodwaters rapidly rose while he was doing a live shot and heard her screaming for help.

He was on “Fox & Friends” saying why he couldn’t sit around and wait for first responders to help her out of her car.

“I know that we’re swamped here with all of the 911 calls, because there are so many high-water rescues that we’ve already documented so far… [she] called 911 and, five minutes, 10 minutes, and you could hear screaming, right? You could hear through my live shot, real loud”.

Watch the amazing rescue here!
