(CNN) -- Two apparent tornadoes on Monday destroyed several homes in southeastern Virginia, killing at least one person, city officials said.
The pair of twisters touched down just before 4 p.m., damaging scores of homes, stores and cars and downing dozens of trees, said Suffolk city spokeswoman Dana Woodson.
Video showed roofs torn off homes, cars flipped over, trees snapped in two and a caved-in section of a newly constructed shopping center.
A tornado warning over the area remained in effect Monday evening. |

I was watching national news and this is about the only thing on right now. The pictures are the most horrifying. I'm not sure about CNN, but on Fox News Channel that is all they are talking about right now (for the most part). The pictures... It's so terrible. The idea that only one person has died (as far as they know) is what is amazing. Evacuation was affective, but the loss of homes is unbelievable. |
