A tornado that tore through parts of Alabama, killing at least 23 people, was so powerful it plucked a billboard and blew it 20 miles into the neighboring state of Georgia.

The huge sign—advertising Lee County Flea Market—was sent airborne by the devastating twisters that pounded parts the state on Sunday, March 3.
