A tornado confirmed in Fulton County was one of about 20 that hit Georgia on Monday, the National Weather Service said Thursday.

The storm system left thousands in the dark and ripped the roof off a fire station in Carrollton.

Initially, the tornado touched down on Campbellton Redwine Road, which is north of South Fulton Parkway.

Then it touched down intermittently as it headed east toward Cochran Mill Parkway, where the tornado finally lifted, according to the NWS.

Though the tornado was categorized as EF0, some low-end EF1 damage was reported in Cochran Mill Park, where more than 100 hardwood and pine trees were snapped and uprooted.

The confirmation came a day after severe weather pounded metro Atlanta and other parts of Georgia all day Wednesday.
