Terrifying viewer video shows the moment a huge tornado spun off by the remnants of Hurricane Florence destroyed part of a shopping center and flipped cars near Richmond, Virginia.

A worker died when the winds ripped the roof off a warehouse.

The fury came right as many schools were set to dismiss for the day. Students and teachers sheltered in place.
