Powerful storms swept through America's Southern States on Thursday and Friday, producing two tornadoes.

In the state of Alabama, a CCTV camera caught the moment one tornado hit a car park, tossing cars into the air.

In North Carolina, strong winds blew planes off the tarmac at an airport, and homes were destroyed.

One person was killed in the city of Greensboro, and three others injured in the storms.
