At least four people were also injured.
A strong tornado struck North Carolina, nearly flattening a plant of the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. According to CNN, in addition to the plant, the interstate highway was blocked and four people were injured by the elements.
According to information provided by the US National Weather Service, the tornado that struck North Carolina belonged to the EF-2 hazard level category, moving at speeds of up to 217 km/h.
Helicopter footage captured the roof of the Pfizer plant in Rocky Mount crumpled like paper, and the company's parking lot was completely covered with debris. No injuries were reported among the plant's employees, according to a company statement.
According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the tornado also fell trees on Interstate 95, leading to a complete blockage of traffic in both directions, which caused serious traffic problems and delays lasting at least an hour.
Recall that earlier in the UK, a 30-year-old teacher was arrested for sexual abuse of a teenager.
