ST. LOUISU-Haul® has made 24 Company stores across three states available to help storm victims with 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage after a powerful weather system spawned a number of deadly tornadoes on Friday.

The tornadoes tore through homes — and in some cases communities — while being responsible for more than 20 casualties, according to news reports. Many families remain without power and face a long rebuilding process.
