NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents impacted by the tornado and severe storms that slammed Middle Tennessee early Tuesday morning.

Tens of thousands of residents are without power and many homes and businesses sustained damages when the weather moved through the state. A number of lives were lost.

"Some people may need a secure place to stow their belongings in the coming days. We are able to help by making our facilities available at no cost for one month."
