Power lines looked more like a game of Twister in one neighborhood in Macon after Irma hit back in September 2017.
Trey Wood lives in one of the homes and said the huge disaster happened in a small amount of time.
"Over the course of the next 30 minutes, all the rest of these trees fell down. You'd hear 'snap' and then 'boom,' and then the next gust would come and you'd hear 'snap' and then a 'boom.'"
More than 6 fallen trees left people quarantined to their homes. One path was left open, but was not accessible to all people.
Wood said only his four-wheel drive truck can make it through. That left hundreds of people stuck in their homes in Macon.
"Several hundred, if not a thousand. It's a pretty significant neighborhood back here," Woods said.
From the early hours of the morning, neighbors poured out of their homes, some just wanting to get coffee up the road, others ready to take matters into their own hands.
Neighbor William White said even if he couldn't get all of the debris out of the way, it was worth at least trying to make the road passable.
"If we wait for the city, it may take a couple of days. People need to get in and out of here, the children's homes in the back of the neighborhood, so if we can clear a little path, great. If not, at least it's worth a shot."
Through the whole process, humble and thankful hearts were present. Wood said he counted his blessings that the trees fell in front of his house and not on his house.
