Carlos Solis becomes blind after being struck on the head by a flying fencepost during a devastating tornado. This tragic event occurs during a period when he and Gabrielle Solis had recently reconciled.
The Circumstances of Carlos's Blindness
The incident leading to Carlos's loss of sight was a direct consequence of a tornado that tore through Wisteria Lane, causing widespread destruction. During this natural disaster, a large fencepost became dislodged and, propelled by the extreme winds, hit Carlos directly on the head. This severe head injury resulted in his subsequent blindness.
Before this unfortunate accident, Carlos and his wife, Gabrielle, had gone through numerous tumultuous periods in their relationship, marked by various affairs and separations. However, they had finally found their way back to each other and reunited just prior to the tornado striking. The blindness was a significant turning point for Carlos and deeply impacted their lives moving forward.
