Nashville Tornado - March 3, 2020

The Nashville tornado has been devastating and unforgiving for so many families and businesses across the Middle Tennessee area. Baldini Auction Company is no exception. Our building is a complete loss; however, we’re very lucky no-one was in the building when the tornado hit.

On a personal note, I have felt very devastated, displaced and in disbelief. My first image of the devastation was from this video my son-in-law shot. I was in shock. Other than my wonderful and loving family who will always come first, my business is my life-blood. I have been completely humbled by all of the love and support from my customers, clients, friends and auction family who have reached out to see if I needed help.

As soon as we could access the property, I took two of my fellow auctioneers, James and his son Joe Spencer along with Richard who works for a dear past client, to the site. These men were tossing cinder blocks like I toss sticks and they never complained. They are my truly my super heroes and I can’t thank them enough. Even through my tears they kept my spirits high. After some time, they created a walkway for me so I could safely navigate the area and identify salvageable items. We did manage to save some important files, some of the Paul Harmon art, and other items, and we drove away with three truckloads.

The next day, my girl squad of Marie, Mary Francis and Cyndi rescued more items. I couldn’t keep them away and I am thankful for their persistence and hard work. We safely rescued more items I never thought I would see again. I will post much more about this story in an upcoming blog along with some amazing photos from both days.

We are still in business and we will recover!
