With tornado season escalating in states from Oklahoma to Arkansas to Mississippi to North Carolina, This Land Radio is looking back to the storm that tore through Moore, Oklahoma, this time last year.

This Land Audio Producers Abby Wendle and Sarah Geis visited Moore the day after the tornado hit. They made this portrait of survivors who were in two of the hardest-hit spots: the Plaza Towers Elementary School and the Warren Theater.
