� THE VETERANS COFFEE CLUB PODCAST — EP. #003
� THE PERFECT STORM: FLOODAGEDDON
Indiana got absolutely hammered last week.
In Episode #003 of The Veterans Coffee Club Podcast, we’re talking about the “Perfect Storm” — the flooding that knocked out internet and utilities, damaged homes, displaced families, and left neighborhoods trying to figure out what comes next.
This episode is about what happened after the cameras, announcements, and official talking points — from the people who were actually there.
� BOOTS ON THE GROUND
We’ll talk about what residents experienced, what volunteers encountered, what people still need, and what recovery actually looks like street by street.
� POSSIBLE SPECIAL GUESTS:
Flood victims and residents sharing their own firsthand experiences from the hardest-hit areas.
� THE AFTERMATH
Floodwater. Property destruction. Cleanup. Communication failures. Internet outages. Resource problems. And communities trying to recover from a disaster that changed lives in a matter of hours.
� AND THEN CAME THE SCAMMERS…
Nicole became one of the early targets of an alleged storm-related asphalt scheme after workers showed up following the disaster.
What started as a paving conversation quickly escalated into pressure and proposed charges that climbed as high as approximately $25,000.
We’ll break down what happened, the tactics used, the warning signs residents should watch for, and why disaster victims need to be especially cautious when unsolicited contractors suddenly appear promising repairs — or claiming someone else will reimburse the bill.
This one is part disaster story, part community debrief, part consumer warning.
� Grab your coffee.
