 ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A trail of uprooted and broken trees, downed utility lines, peeled-off roofs and collapsed brick walls marked the path of a tornado that tore through downtown Atlanta.
The National Weather Service confirmed late Saturday morning that an EF-2 tornado with winds up to 130 mph struck the city Friday night.
Trees blown down in Friday night's storm crushed a row of houses in the city's historic Cabbagetown district just east of downtown. Cabbagetown was among the hardest-hit communities. When daylight broke Saturday, residents woke up, looked around at the damage and were in shock.
Initial estimates from the mayor's office said at least 20 of the historic homes were damaged or destroyed by the tornado.
Atlanta police Maj. Renee Propes urged people to stay away from Cabbagetown.
"We appreciate the fact that people may want to help," Propes said. "But, in most instances, they are hindering our efforts and possibly putting people and property at risk."
The top floor collapsed at one building in the Fulton Cotton Mill Lofts, a 104-year-old industrial complex redeveloped into residences. Police officials said everyone was out of the structure and surrounding buildings and all residents in the lofts had been accounted for.
As of 11 a.m. Saturday, about 10,000 customers were without power, but restoring it in some areas will be "very slow going," said Georgia Power spokesman John Sell.
