U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free U-Box Storage after Tornado Hits Enid

Apr 24, 2026

U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free U-Box® portable storage container use at two Company facilities for residents of the Enid community and Vance Air Force Base after a devastating tornado swept through the region Thursday night. 

A large tornado touched down in Enid just before 8:30 p.m., damaging dozens of homes and causing significant destruction in the Gray Ridge neighborhood on the city’s south side. The National Weather Service confirmed EF-3 damage. Nearby Vance AFB saw damage as well. 

Gov. Kevin Stitt said in a statement that state leaders are working with local officials to assess damage and mobilize resources.

Access to portable storage containers is beneficial to the recovery process of communities after natural disasters strike. U-Haul is ready to help anyone affected by the tornado who needs a storage solution at no cost for one month. 

The 30 days free offer applies to new U-Box rentals and is based on availability at participating locations. The U-Box offer is for on-site storage at the Stillwater and Edmond facilities listed below. Customers may also tow their container to their property using a U-Box trailer at no charge. Standard delivery and pickup service of U-Box containers is available for a fee.
