In the afternoon hours of November 16, 1989, a relatively weak but deadly tornado moved north through Orange County, located in the state of New York. Despite causing relatively little damage for the majority of its path, late in its life the tornado blew down a free-standing cafeteria wall located at the East Coldenham Elementary School, killing nine students and injuring eighteen others. Though the event was officially recorded as a tornado, conclusive evidence from a survey by a team led by Ted Fujita and others indicates that it was likely a downburst instead, although the disaster is still officially attributed to this tornado. If this was in fact a tornado, this would make it the deadliest recorded tornado in New York State history.
