COLQUITT CO. – Around midnight, a storm ripped through several neighborhoods in Colquitt County.

After waiting out the rain, homeowners woke up to the devastating scene.

Old pine trees were uprooted, while crashing into power lines, vehicles, and homes.

A home on Walter Murphy Road started their tedious cleanup by covering more than a dozen holes on their roof with tarp.

They say one of the holes is right above the master bedroom, where a couple was sleeping when a tree came right through the ceiling above them.

“You look around and you would think you’re not blessed, but we’re actually very blessed because the only thing stopping that tree was the rafters and it stopped it from coming onto the bed with them,” says Brian Gay, the homeowner’s son.

Fallen trees claimed their family home, shed, barn, golf cart, and much more.

He says it will take thousands of dollars to cleanup the debris and damage.

As of late Tuesday afternoon, power was still out in the surrounding area.
