"God had wrapped his arms around me, that’s for sure,” says 78-year-old Joy Mixer as she recounts the moment when a tree fell through the roof of the bedroom where, until a few moments previously, she had been asleep. “Three trees came down in a domino effect, or so I’m told,” Mixer recalls. “One on top of the other.” Mixer said that she had gone to bed about 9:45 p.m. on Sept. 11, and had slept for a while before waking to the sound of wind from then-tropical storm Irma whipping through the trees around her house inside Lumpkin Campground.
