SPRINGDALE, Ark., March 30,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is making two local
facilities available to provide 30 days of free self-storage to
people impacted by the tornado that hit Springdale before dawn this morning.
Homes, businesses and schools were damaged, and several injuries
have been reported.
"The tornado came pretty close to our Springdale center, and we know it damaged an
apartment complex," said Jim Smith,
U-Haul Company of Tulsa president, whose region encompasses
Northwest Arkansas.
"Power is down. Trees are down. Buildings are damaged. We don't
know everything that was destroyed yet, but we know an event like
this creates immediate needs. We are fortunate to be able to help
our neighbors with access to dry and secure self-storage."
