U-Haul® Companies of Central Alabama and Southern Georgia are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage after several destructive tornadoes tore through the states on Sunday evening.
The storms toppled trees, power lines and buildings, and numerous homes were destroyed. Much of the destruction occurred in Lee County, Ala.
“Some of our neighbors came home on Sunday night, only to find their homes in shambles,” stated Scott Fall, U-Haul Company of Central Alabama president. “As a caring member of these communities, we want to make sure these families have a secure place to store their belongings as the recovery process begins.”
