East Texas Tornado Recovery: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage

Apr 24, 2020

U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to East Texas residents impacted by Wednesday night’s severe weather.

A tornado tore through the town of Onalaska, 80 miles northeast of Houston, resulting in losses of life, a number of injuries and the destruction of many residences.

“Many people are dealing with property damage as a result of the storms,” stated Robert Abidin, U-Haul Company of Northeast Houston president. “U-Haul is stepping up to offer our neighbors a place to securely store their belongings during the clean-up process.

“Everyone is already facing unprecedented challenges from the coronavirus outbreak. We have the ability to help in the aftermath of this tornado. We want to make things easier.”
