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."
