The outbreak that spawned more than 70 tornadoes in the Deep South last weekend scarred the earth in at least two towns.

In Albany, Georgia, a killer EF3 tornado was in progress on the morning of Sunday, Jan. 22. It was one of several tornadoes responsible for at least 16 deaths in Georgia alone, and in the image above, the scar left behind was visible from space.

The before-and-after images, provided by NASA, show the scale of devastation left behind. On the ground, trees were debarked and mobile homes were tossed like toys. One woman miraculously survived after the bathtub in which she was sheltering was tossed out of her home and into the woods.

A day before the deadly Albany tornado, four people were killed when an EF3 twister hit Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Saturday morning. Destruction was widespread in this southern Mississippi city of nearly 50,000, where a college and several neighborhoods took a direct hit.

Below, an animated image shows the faint scar left behind by the Hattiesburg tornado. Although the scar isn't easy to see from miles up, more than $200 million in damage was done along that dull line.
