An EF-2 tornado tore through parts of Arlington on Tuesday night, leaving a trail of damaged buildings, ripped roofs and uninhabitable homes in its wake.
As people begin to dealing with the aftermath of the damage just one day before Thanksgiving, U-Haul announced the company is offering 30 days of free self-storage to anyone affected by the storms throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
“We want to offer them a secure place to store their belongings at no cost for one month. It’s the least we can do to help our neighbors leading up to Thanksgiving," Norman White, the president of U-Haul Company of Fort Worth said in a news release.
U-Haul is an official American Red Cross Disaster Responder and the aid is a part of the company's disaster relief program. Red Cross officials said they helped more than 80 families from three severely damaged apartment complexes with emergency lodging and food.
The organization began working with apartment management and city officials overnight to help those affected.
For those that were significantly impacted, the Red Cross has caseworkers helping them secure lodging, food and physical and mental health services, officials said.
Anyone who was affected by the storm and needs help is encouraged to call the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767.
