Original Toronto Star caption: The placid humber river running along the lower part of Raymore Dr. in this aerial photo was a demon unleashed on the night of Oct. 15, 20 years ago today, when Hurricane Hazel brought death and destruction to southern Ontario. Fed by torrents of rain, the storm washed away 14 homes on this street, many with shrieking families on their rooftops, and carried 36 residents to their deaths.
