Tornado Recovery: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage in Sioux Falls

Sep 11, 2019

U-Haul Company of Fargo is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents in Sioux Falls who were impacted by Tuesday night’s tornado.

The twister touched down in southeast South Dakota, downing power lines and causing structural collapses in the Sioux Falls area.

“The storm hit quickly and has left many residents with damaged homes,” noted Shawn Odden, U-Haul Company of Fargo president. “On top of the tornado damage, there’s also a flood warning in effect.

“U-Haul is stepping up to offer our neighbors a place to securely store their belongings during the clean-up process at no charge for one month. We’re a proud member of this community and we’re eager to help.”
