A powerful storm cut across middle Tennessee in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Tornadoes touched down in Nashville and surrounding middle Tennessee communities, destroying everything in their path with 165-mile-per-hour winds and punishing rain. Currently, 25 people lost their lives in the violent storm.
We at Bart Durham Injury Law want to express our deepest condolences to all affected by this terrible storm. The losses are immeasurable and we grieve alongside you. We love the community that has been so gracious to us for the past 45 years! This is OUR hometown and we'll do all we can to help our neighbors!There is a lot of work to do. Our amazing neighbors have already jumped into action to organize clean ups, volunteer programs, and donation drives. We are so proud to see the way our community has drawn together during this tough time.
We know we can never fully recover from this tragedy. The lives lost will be a source of pain for a long time. But there are numerous groups and organizations doing everything they can to help rebuild as much as possible.
