Of the many cities in New York affected by the remnants of the hurricane, Buffalo was among the hardest hit.
There, winds peaked at 78 mph (126 km/h), downing hundreds of electrical, telegraph, and telephone wires, while numerous trees toppled and some branches fell onto roadways.
An oil derrick blew away and landed on the roof of a house, crushing the roof and nearly killing the occupants.
A newly built iron works building was virtually destroyed, causing a loss of about $10,000.
At the Pan-American Exposition, the storm damaged several structures, including part of the government building, while two towers were destroyed.
Losses at the exposition alone were conservatively estimated at $75,000.
One death occurred in Buffalo after a woman inadvertently touched a downed electrical wire obscured by debris.
Several nearby resorts received extensive damage.
At Woodlawn Beach, several dozens of small boats and a pier were destroyed.
Nearly all vessels owned by the Buffalo Canoe Club suffered severe damage or destruction at Crystal Beach.
A toboggan slide and a restaurant were also destroyed.
Losses in Crystal Beach reached about $5,000.
Heavy crop losses occurred over western New York, with fallen apples and peaches completely covering the ground at thousands of acres of orchards.
Losses reportedly ranged in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The rapidly moving storm was still exhibiting winds of 65 mph (105 km/h) while passing well north of New York City on September 12.
The New York Times reported that pedestrian-walking became difficult and attributed one death to the storm.
A sign pole, snapped by the wind, landed on a 23-year-old man, crushing his skull and killing him instantly, while two others were knocked unconscious.
Awnings and signs on many buildings broke and the canvas roofing at the Fire Department headquarters was blown off.
Closer to the waterfront, along the Battery seawall, waves and tides were reported to be some of the highest in recent memory of the fishermen and sailors.
Spray and debris were thrown over the wall, making walking along the waterfront dangerous.
Small craft in New York Harbor were thrown off course and tides and currents in the Hudson River made navigation difficult.
In Brooklyn, The New York Times reported that trees were uprooted, signs and similar structures were blown down, and yachts were torn from moorings with some suffering severe damage.
Because of the direction of the wind, Coney Island escaped the fury of the storm, though a bathing pavilion at Bath Beach suffered damage from wind and waves.
