 * 1845 – A tornado outbreak hit parts of New York and Vermont. A large tornado, up to 1.5 mi wide, destroyed many homes and at least 10000 acre of forest as it passed near Antwerp, Fowler, and Edwards, New York. It, and other members of the tornado family became known as the "Great Adirondack Tornado." Another tornado temporarily drained the mouth of the Genesee River as it moved onto Lake Ontario. There were no deaths reported from this outbreak, but a child was reported missing.
