 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.

| | Sorry to hear about the destruction - I love visiting Cabbagetown. I hope this makes the neighborhood stronger than ever. BTW, great newsletter! -JP | 4/10/2008 1:49 PM Wayne James/Rosalie Capiral | 3/28/2008 2:36 PM GaskillGuy Special thanks to the church in Lawrencevill fixing up the uninsured woman's house on Berean. Big ups to Tulane University for sending it's alternative Spring Break kids to Cabbagetown. A heartfelt thanks to the surrounding neighborhoods for sending all these good folks to help us clean up our neighborhood. There are so many people that deserve a beer on us Cabbageheads. Now that we've got momentum, let's keep the cleanup efforts going! Let's scrub the tags from the walls and signs. Let's pester the city for more street lights. Let's mount cameras on our houses and post signage letting the monthly robbing crew that they're being recorded!!! Finally, let's pressure the deadbeat slumlords to either clean up their properties or sell. | Will there be another cleanup day? I missed the one today, March 22nd, but I'd love to help. | 3/21/2008 7:37 PM COMMUNITYWATCHNETWORK We are together with you in prayer and community service .be strong be encourage you can build again on a new foundation | Up until last week I was unaware of Cabbagetown ( excuse my ignorance). I listened to the new CD by Shawn Mullins and on it a great song called "Cabbagetown". This song is about your town! I did a bit of internet research and was shocked to see the devastation caused. I thought I would leave this note to let you all know that folks "across the pond" in Scotland ( United Kingdom) are thinking about you and hoping everything works out. | 3/19/2008 3:37 PM rwheeler Can anyone tell me the name of the family business that was destroyed? It was on the news but we can't seem to find the name. Thank you. | On behalf of Cabbagetown residents I particularly would like to thank the Fire Department and the Georgia Power company. They really excelled in helping Cabbagetown and worked really hard under rain and sunshine!
I would also like to share my personal pictures taken on Sat 17 2008.
