During the latest “Tony Katz 1st Hour” broadcast, the host highlighted the ongoing flooding that has struck parts of Indiana, with a particular focus on Noblesville. Mayor Chris Jensen joined the program to describe the current situation, noting that officials are still assessing the extent of damage and coordinating cleanup efforts.
Mayor Jensen’s update
Mayor Jensen said the city’s emergency management team is working around the clock to assist residents whose homes and businesses have been inundated. He emphasized the importance of safety, urging anyone in flood‑prone areas to avoid driving through standing water and to follow guidance from local officials.
State officials weigh in
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita called in to warn that scammers are attempting to exploit flood victims. Rokita reminded listeners to verify the legitimacy of any organization offering assistance and to report suspicious calls or emails to law‑enforcement.
Community response
Local volunteers have begun organizing donation drives for sandbags, food, and clothing. The city’s public works department is also deploying additional resources to clear debris and restore road access where possible.
Veteran perspective
Marine Joey Jones, a veteran who lost his legs while serving in Afghanistan, expressed frustration after recent media coverage amplified complaints about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. While his remarks were unrelated to the flood, they underscored the broader challenges facing Indiana residents dealing with multiple crises.
Authorities continue to monitor water levels and will provide updates as the situation evolves. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official city channels and to heed any evacuation orders if conditions worsen.
