New York Weather Bureau. 209 



On the 23d a destructive tornado occurred about 10 miles north 

 of Amsterdam. A house, its outbuildings and barns were entirely 

 demolished, and on an adjacent farm the barns were also swept 

 away. The path traversed was naiTow, but within its range no 

 trees or buildings were left standing. No loss of life was reported. 

 It is remarkable that in August, 1896, a similar destructive tornado 

 occurred very near the scene of this storm.
