Indiana Mother Saves Kids from Tornado


Stephanie Decker’s home was pummeled by two tornadoes on Friday in Indiana. She was home with her two kids when her husband texted, warning her about the tornado headed for their three-story house. She took her son and daughter to the basement and shielded them from debris with a blanket. To further protect her kids, she reached around them, holding them, so everything coming at them would hit her instead of her children. After the first tornado went through, she had two steel beams on her legs and was stuck. Then next tornado came through and again she attempted to cover her children as well as she could. Everything was hitting her back, but she was on top of her children keeping them safe from the beams, pillars, and furniture, while they screamed that they did not want to die. When the storm passed, Stephanie Decker saw that her house was gone. Luckily, her neighbors were able to help her and keep the bleeding under control until the ambulance arrived. It was a miracle that Decker and her kids lived. Neither of her kids had a scratch on them, but their mother lost part of both of her legs, and broke seven of her ribs.
