@atlantanewsfirst: Rocky Meeks had already cut down 10 trees that day, clearing storm damage from Isaias in Lumpkin County. On the 11th, a limb fell 40 feet and hit him in the head. He has already had multiple surgeries, including stents in his aorta, leg repair and spinal surgery, and his family says he may never be able to return to work. He was just a few years from retirement. His wife says GDOT has assured them his job is safe, but the family has started a GoFundMe to help cover expenses during his recovery. #Lumpkin County #Georgia #GeorgiaNews #GDOT #StormRecovery #CommunitySupport
