No hurricanes? Are you serious?

Hurricane Hazel induced the most severe flooding in Toronto in over 200 years. As much of the floodplain had been developed, the flood damage was high, being estimated at $25 million ($146.9 million in 1998 dollars). Over 20 bridges were destroyed or damaged beyond repair, 81 lives lost, and 1868 families left homeless.


It may not have been a cat 5, but it was still devastating to a city that doesn't expect them.
