U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage to Mooresville Tornado Victims

Apr 12, 2020

U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents impacted by the EF1 tornado and severe storms that slammed Mooresville and surrounding areas on Wednesday night.

Winds reached 100 mph and many structures sustained damage when the weather moved through central Indiana.

“This is devastating for this community,” said Patrick Cheek, U-Haul Company of Central Indiana president. “Homes and businesses have been damaged. Many of these folks are already facing the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak, and now they have another hurdle to jump.

“As people begin to pick up the pieces, we want to offer a secure place for them to store their belongings at no cost for one month.”

Participating Locations

U-Haul stores offer needed supplies to help with storm recovery like boxes, tarps, propane and propane tanks. Customers should ensure their tanks are topped off since propane is good to have in the event of long-term power outages.

On March 12, U-Haul extended one month of free self-storage to college students whose school schedules were interrupted by COVID-19. That offer is ongoing across the U.S. and Canada.
