| A teacher in Moore, Oklahoma showed some serious grace under fire as her school was hit by that massive tornado. Suzanne Haley was protecting students, including her two daughters, when the twister hit Briarwood Elementary School. They were cowering under upturned desks, when her right calf was speared by the leg of a chair or table. She described the scene to CNN's "Piers Morgan Live." "The wall came in and landed right on top of us on the desk, initially I thought something large and heavy was just on my leg and I was stuck," says Haley. "I couldn't move, none of us could move, we finally got to roll around and kind of get out of the way, and I asked my daughter if she could see if that was something that was just on my leg that could lifted, that I could pull out, and she realized and screamed that it was in my leg and amazingly by the grace of God I kept it together, and if it's shock, it's shock, but I couldn't go into hysterics in front of my children, in front of the other students, I had to be calm for them." The first-grade teacher says firefighters pulled her out of the wreckage and braced her leg. Doctors saved her leg. They also saved the metal pole for her. Haley calls it her souvenir and trophy. She should fully recover in about three months. | ||||||
