Storm Recovery: U-Haul Offers 30 Days of Free Self-Storage in Southeast Louisiana

U-Haul Company of South Central Louisiana is offering free self-storage to residents who were impacted by wind damage and severe storms associated with a possible tornado early Thursday morning.

“Many of our neighbors are now dealing with the damage and devastation,” U-Haul Company of South Central Louisiana president Jerry Bowden said. “As a caring member of these communities, we want to make sure they have a secure place to store their belongings during the recovery process.”
