Tornado Recovery: U-Haul Offering Help to Tennesseans at 7 Stores

MADISON, Tenn. and CLARKSVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to victims of the tornadoes and thunderstorms that tore through Clarksville, Madison, Hendersonville and neighboring communities on Saturday.

An EF3 tornado left an 11-mile path of destruction in Montgomery County, and an EF2 tornado caused widespread damage in northern Davidson County and Sumner County. Multiple deaths were confirmed, countless homes were leveled, and tens of thousands of residents have been left without power.

With some families displaced and others facing substantial home repairs, access to dry and secure self-storage rooms and portable storage containers during clean-up is always beneficial to communities affected by natural disasters.

"Our Hendersonville store sustained damage during these storms, so we know firsthand that our fellow Tennesseans are in need," said Adam Muszynski, U-Haul Company of North Nashville president. "As our people begin to clean up their properties, we are providing a month of free storage services for their belongings. We encourage anyone in need of a storage unit to give us a call and take advantage of our disaster relief program."

Six stores across Middle Tennessee and one in southern Kentucky are available to provide 30 days of free storage services. The U-Haul disaster relief program applies to new storage rentals and is based on availability.
