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.==Early history==Raymore Drive and Raymore Park are located on land which was owned by the Scarlett family, the namesake for Scarlett Road, until the mid-1850s. In 1857, Rowland Burr, a local businessman, proposed to build a canal between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay on Lake Huron, which would have used part of the Humber River where it passes Raymore Drive. This project was not completed, and instead the Trent Canal, which links Lake Huron at Severn to Lake Ontario at Trenton, roughly to the northeast, was built to serve the purpose.(【引用サイトリンク】title=Raymore Park )The area instead became residential, and by the mid-1950s, Raymore Drive was home to a mix of retirees and blue-collar workers. Near the intersection of Raymore Drive and Gilhaven Avenue, a footbridge was built over the Humber to facilitate travel to Weston's main commercial area. At the time, Raymore Drive went from Scarlett Road, mostly along the Humber River, passing Brownlea Avenue, Waterton Road, Tilden Crescent, and Gilhaven Avenue. Raymore continued to follow the Humber on its right bank, and curved back to end at Gilhaven. Before the street curved south, only the south side of Raymore Drive had houses, while when the streets went north to south, homes lined both sides of the street.
