Early Friday morning, long time Atlanta based meteorologist Bob Van Dillen was reporting live for FOX Weather when he heard screams coming from a car submerged in the flooded Atlanta Street near Peachtree Creek. Van Dillen called out to her and said he called 911 and to hold on. Quickly realizing that she was frantic inside the car and that EMS may take too long, he jumped into action.
People are flocking to pools, beaches and cooling centers in a swath of the Midwest and South spanning from northern Florida to the Great Lakes, as a heat wave pushed temperatures into the 90s and beyond.
