RICHMOND, Va. -- As the remnants of Hurricane Florence moved through Virginia Monday, numerous tornadoes formed in what meteorologists are calling a historic tornado outbreak.

Here's a look at some photos and videos of possible tornadoes as well as rotation and damage reports filed by our viewers.

CHESTERFIELD 

This powerful video shot by John Guth shows a suspected tornado causing a path of destruction along Hull Street Road and Speeks Drive in Chesterfield County. One worker was killed and another suffered a minor injury when a tornado leveled Old Dominion Floor building on Speeks Drive.

"This was just minutes after the tornado passed through, around 3:50, before police and firefighters arrived," Brian O. wrote.
