At least one person was killed in Virginia on Monday after two apparent tornadoes touched down in the state as Florence — which has been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone — continues to leave its mark along the eastern seaboard.
A person was killed in Chesterfield County after Old Dominion Flooring collapsed, the county fire department confirmed. Another person was transported to a hospital with minor injuries.
The Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) considers Monday's storms part of Florence, which flooded several cities throughout North Carolina over the weekend.
