U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents impacted by the tornado and severe storms that slammed Ocala and surrounding central Florida communities on Monday morning.
“It looks like the majority of the damage occurred along Interstate 75, near the County Road 484 exit,” said Brady Rome, U-Haul Company of Gainesville president. “We’re not sure the extent of the damage yet, but we want our neighbors to know they can count on us.
“If anyone suffered residential or property damage from the storms and needs to utilize our self-storage during recovery efforts, we’re here to help.”
