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 . All together , 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
