Info
Raymore Drive is a mostly residential street in the Weston neighbourhood of Toronto in the Canadian province of Ontario. It runs next to the Humber River. On October 15, 1954, the area was severely affected by Hurricane Hazel. When the Humber River burst its banks and tore away a footbridge, the waters of the Humber were redirected through the neighbourhood. The flood killed 35 residents and washed away 39 percent of the street. Altogether, Hazel was responsible for 81 deaths in Canada. Subsequent residential development in that area was prohibited. The properties were expropriated and made into Raymore Park.
