SPRINGFIELD, Ill., and CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., and DAVENPORT, Iowa, March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Three U-Haul Companies are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage over a wide area of the Midwest to residents who have been or will be impacted by the recent swell of tornadoes and damaging thunderstorms.
Multiple tornadoes ripped through the Midwest on Tuesday and more storm damage is expected today.
"These storms are damaging homes and businesses all over the Midwest," U-Haul Company of Illinois president Aaron Freeman said. "Cars are being tossed in the air, trees are being uprooted and several people have lost their lives.
"U-Haul is part of these communities and we are here to help families during times of disaster and severe weather. We are happy to offer self-storage units to those affected who need a safe and secure place for their belongings."
