Indiana mother loses legs while saving her children from tornado
A Marysville, Ind., mother lost parts of both legs but saved the lives of her two children by covering them with her body as a tornado crushed their home on top of them Friday, her husband said.
Stephanie Decker, 36, lost one leg above the knee and the other above the ankle, said her husband, Joe Decker. She is in stable condition at University Hospital in Louisville. The children survived without a scratch, he said.

She said she saw a massive piece of debris collapsing on her and pulled her daughter out of the way of it at the last moment. She just kind of grabbed her and turned, Joe Decker said. She doesnt remember anything after that.
The heroics continued after the funnel cloud passed, Joe Decker added, with their son rushing out into the blinding hail to alert neighbors, several of whom quickly came to her rescue.
