U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage at four Alabama facilities to those impacted by the tornado that struck the Birmingham metro area on Thursday night.

Many residential properties sustained severe damage in the storm, and fatalities were reported. Accessibility to local storage can assist in the community’s recovery and rebuilding process.

“Thursday’s tornado caused widespread damage in our communities,” stated Scott Fall, U-Haul Company of Central Alabama president. “As our neighbors begin the process of cleaning up, we are able to provide them with a secure facility to store their possessions for 30 days at no cost.”
