U-Haul Company of Southern Alabama is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage to residents of Mobile (Ala.), Escambia (Fla.) and Santa Rosa (Fla.) Counties who were impacted by the violent storms to strike the Gulf Coast this week.
Heavy rains and high winds ravaged parts of Mobile on Tuesday night, while tornadoes touched down in Pensacola and caused significant damage.
“Our U-Haul Team Members live in the communities that have been affected,” said Jesse Neill, U-Haul Company of Southern Alabama president. “We have an opportunity to help out. We care for our neighbors. We were fortunate to not be affected; but for those who were, we want to help.”
