OCALA, Fla., April 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is
offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to
residents impacted by the tornado and severe storms that slammed
Ocala and surrounding central
Florida communities on Monday
morning.
"It looks like the majority of the damage occurred along
Interstate 75, near the County Road 484 exit," said Brady Rome, U-Haul Company of Gainesville president. "We're not sure the
extent of the damage yet, but we want our neighbors to know they
can count on us.
"If anyone suffered residential or property damage from the
storms and needs to utilize our self-storage during recovery
efforts, we're here to help."
