The last I looked at Fox Weather channel

They were STILL milking the coverage of their weather reporter making a pre-dawn rescue of some woman who drove into a flood in north Atlanta.

1. Perhaps she was one of those election deniers?

2. speaking of Atlanta

I understand that a hurricane/tropical storm can change paths very quickly. But the weather people almost seemed disappointed that the storm didn't directly hit Atlanta. I was watching in the middle of the night and the radar looked like the storm had shifted course. But they kept going on and on about Atlanta and kept showing the same flooded area boat rescue thing. At one point, the worst was clearly east of us and that seemed important for people in those areas.

3. Kudos to that meteorologist!

Bob Van Dillen, an Atlanta-based Fox Weather meteorologist, saved a woman from a flooding car in Buckhead this morning while Tropical Storm Helene passed through Georgia.

He was doing a live shot for “Fox & Friends” on Fox News when he heard a woman screaming from her submerged car off Northside Drive near Peachtree Park Apartments by an overflowing Peachtree Creek at about 7 a.m. Friday. After calling 911, he pulled the woman out of her car and brought her to safety.

“We put her in a car,” Van Dillen said on Fox Weather after it happened. “I gave her my shirt. Her husband will pick her up. Everyone is good.”

Moments later, the husband arrived live on camera and hugged Van Dillen.

9. Possibly the only time I'll see eye-to-eye with RightGlockMom.

Thanks for the clips. Yikes!

7. Agreed.

Kneejerk criticism of all things Fox is misguided. Van Dillen deserves to be recognized.

4. If the storm doesn't live up to the hype they will still hype it. All of them, not just Fox

It's the only excitement they get.

8. Many people are dead and damage and flooding are extensive.

If coverage of a storm of this nature was "hyped", there's a very good reason. It's to help keep people alive.

Downplaying it seems a little misguided at this point.

6. Credit where it's due.

I see no reason at all to criticize it. Repetition is the basis of cable news, and the story is newsworthy, unlike much of what they cover.

10. Well, it was an incredible act.
