WATCH: Fox Host Breaks Down In Tears On Live TV

A heart-wrenching moment unfolded live on Fox News when a weather anchor broke down in tears after hearing a mother’s emotional recounting of her son’s final moments during the devastating floods caused by Hurricane Helene. The storm, which made landfall in Florida a week ago, left a trail of destruction across the southeastern United States. The official death toll has now reached at least 204, with hundreds more still missing as rescue operations continue according to NBC News.

During a live broadcast on Thursday, a Fox News weather anchor was visibly emotional as the mother of 7-year-old Micah, one of the young victims of the flood, shared the final moments of her son’s life. Micah had been sitting on the roof of his home in Asheville, North Carolina, alongside his grandparents, when the floodwaters surged, sweeping them all away. Through tears, Micah’s mother described her son’s faith and bravery in his last moments.

“You know, I’m so proud of my son because in his last moments, he wasn’t screaming for me,” she said. “He was screaming, ‘Jesus, Jesus, save me.’ And in that moment, I believe he found peace. He reached for something beyond this world, and he became my hero.”

Her words, spoken with incredible strength, moved both the audience and the Fox News anchor to tears. The anchor struggled to maintain composure as the mother recounted how her son, a child who had always dreamed of becoming a superhero, had instead become her hero in his final moments. “In his last breath, he called upon God, and I think that is what gave him peace,” the mother continued. “He wasn’t scared, he wasn’t afraid—he had joy, even as the flood took him away.”

The devastation of Hurricane Helene has been felt deeply across the country, and Micah’s story has highlighted the personal tragedies experienced by countless families affected by the storm. North Carolina has been hit particularly hard by the storm, with over half of the confirmed fatalities occurring in the state. Many communities were completely submerged as fast-moving waters ravaged towns and cities, destroying homes, businesses, and infrastructure. Local officials have reported difficulties in identifying some of the dead due to the intensity of the flooding.

Rescue operations are still underway as officials and volunteers work tirelessly to search for those still missing in the aftermath of the flooding. The scale of the destruction has made these efforts challenging, with some areas completely cut off due to submerged roads and damaged infrastructure. Communities are now beginning the long process of recovery, with many facing the overwhelming task of rebuilding their homes and lives from the ground up.
