Hurricane Hazel

On Oct. 15, 1954, what is considered Canada's storm of the century slammed into Toronto and cut a path of destruction through a good chunk of central and southern Ontario, killing 81 people and leaving $25 million worth of property damage in its wake.

Juan arrived as a Category 2 hurricane of 85 knots (158 km/h) sustained winds with gusts to over 100 knots (185 km/h).
