Storelocal Knoxville Extends Support to Hurricane Helene Victims with Free Storage

Choshini | October 15, 2024 @ 12:00 AM

Hurricane Helene slammed Tennessee in late September of 2024, wreaking havoc across the region. Heavy rain, huge storm surges, and widespread flooding caused destruction to people’s livelihoods and houses, etc.,  particularly in Knoxville's neighboring areas. While Knoxville escaped the worst of the destruction, several surrounding cities were left dealing with water damage, power outages, and transportation issues for weeks. The hurricane unfortunately claimed four lives and left several families homeless, causing them to deal with substantial property damage while trying to reconstruct their homes and lives.

We can only imagine how difficult it is to lose your home or see it severely damaged, and the stress of waiting for repairs while staying elsewhere can be overwhelming. In these challenging times, having a secure place to store your belongings can make a big difference. That’s why Storelocal Storage is offering two months of free storage for those who are struggling. This solution provides a safe and convenient space for families to store their possessions while they focus on rebuilding their homes and lives back to normal. 

Helping Knoxville and the Surrounding Communities Recover

Hurricane Helene devastated the region from September 24 to 27, 2024, delivering heavy rainfall, tremendous storm surges, and extensive floods. While Knoxville was spared the worst of the disaster, other villages were not so lucky. Water damaged many houses and businesses, and the area's infrastructure was seriously affected. Emergency services from Knoxville were dispatched to help with rescue and recovery efforts, but four people were killed.

In response to the hardships that many locals are currently facing, Storelocal Storage at 145 Hillview Ave, Knoxville, TN 37914, and its second site on 5859 Rutledge Pike, Knoxville, TN, 37924 (Rutledge Parkway), are offering free storage services for two months to individuals affected by the hurricane.
