ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (WTVD) -- A tornado heavily damaged a large Pfizer pharmaceutical plant in North Carolina on Wednesday, scattering medicine and other debris around the complex.
Pfizer said its large complex in Rocky Mount was damaged by a twister that tore through Nash County.
"We are assessing the situation to determine the impact on production," the company said. "Our thoughts are with our colleagues, our patients, and the community as we rebuild from this weather incident."

Fallen trees ripped down part of the fencing along the perimeter of the Pfizer property. Cleanup crews were working to remove debris and make repairs.
The tornado's path started just west of Nashville, traveling northeast through Red Oak, crossing I-95 north of US 64 before running out of energy just before Scotland Neck.
Nash County Sheriff Keith Stone said the Pfizer plant stores large quantities of medicine, and he added that debris was spread all around. The plant's warehouse area sustained the brunt of the damage.
"I've got reports of 50,000 pallets of medicine that are strewn across the facility and damaged through the rain and the wind," he said.
Pfizer is one of the largest employers in the county.

This is a pharmaceutical catastrophe. Before claiming "karma" in re the clot shot, just remember Pfizer produces many drugs and medical devices which are life-saving for many persons. This is truly catastrophic and didn't have to happen

Are you contending that the weather was controlled or that this was the result of global warming?

The atmospheric conditions which generated not just this tornado, but crazy and destructive weather which has become the New Normal 'cross the land, could have been prevented years ago, if not for American addiction to fossil fuels and red meat.

Yeah the tornado should have been more informed and trusted the science before hitting the facility.

So thunderstorms did not exist prior to when, exactly?

I miss the great era of NO weather events.
But you people NEED your big trucks and SUVs! Hope you’re happy! Good luck trying to find your little blue pill now!

The fossil fuels and red meat availability that raised life expectancy from 49 to 76 years. Save the planet by offing yourself.

Ms. Roseanna Tarzana, are you saying that HAARP can control the weather?
