Carrie Gates of Platteville, Wisconsin, got a tattoo of a woman facing a tornado after a twister sucked her from her second-story apartment in 2014. The experience has altered her physically and mentally. “Half my spine is titanium. I have arthritis in my neck now ... so I can tell when the weather's changing,” Gates said. “I can feel it in my body now.”

Episode 2: The Silent Aftermath

A tornado doesn’t discriminate who ends up in its path. It leaves a scar in communities, but it also leaves a scar in its victims.

This is episode 2 of News21’s four-part documentary series “State of Emergency.”

Directed by McKenzie Pavacich.
