Tornado Strikes Nashville

Here is the path the storm took and how we are ready to help you!

Nashville has suffered a severe weather event in the last 24 hours.  An overnight tornado has caused considerable damage to the area and as of this posting, 21 people have lost their lives in this Middle Tennessee area.  The latest reports indicate an EF-3 with winds up to 165 mph struck Mt. Juliet and Donelson overnight and more reports continue to trickle in. 

As they often do, this tornado took a destructive straight-line path from west to east.  This graphic – from one of our insurance companies – shows the most accurate line to this moment. 

The companies we represent KNOW how to handle these events.  We’ve been here before with several catastrophic events over our many years of service.  Each time, we, along with our companies, have the right personnel in place to quickly serve our clients. Some of our companies are already deploying quick response vehicles with appropriate team members to serve customers in the affected areas. 

The Nashville Insurance Village is a designated place where the Tennessee Department of Insurance locates along with insurance company recovery cat vans etc.  The location for this event is at the Centennial Sportsplex – 222-25th Ave. North.  Our clients can go there for shelter and claim assistance if needed.  Most of our companies are represented there!

We have been fielding some calls this morning and we are equipped to handle more.  If you are faced with property loss from this storm overnight or if we can help answer any questions you may have regarding any storm damage, we are ready to help!

All of our companies offer 24/7 claim reporting services.  A list of those are here on our website.  You can also file a claim from BentonWhite.com at this link!

As I told someone this morning, the fast pace of life these days doesn’t afford windows of time for those inconvenienced by this storm to take care of these issues.  But hopefully, for our clients, we can lift some of that heavy load by making the claim experience as smooth and efficient as possible. 

Please TEXT or CALL us at 615.377.1212 if we can be of service or visit our website at www.BentonWhite.com.  This is one of the ways we want to ‘earn’ your insurance business!
