Van Dillen joined 'Fox & Friends' to explain why he couldn’t sit around and wait for first responders to help when he saw a woman in danger as the deadly storm wreaked havoc.
That’s her car right there,' Van Dillen added with a car that was almost completely submerged in the background. 'So I just said, ‘You know what? I realize I’m with you guys on the air, but I can’t let it go.’' The FOX Weather meteorologist 'dropped everything' to help the woman get out of the situation safely.
