Is Florence The New Hazel?


Hurricane Florence is expected to be the deadliest storm to hit the Carolina's in 150 years.

The previous deadliest storm was Hurricane Hazel in 1954.

Hurricane Hazel?  The mayor of Mississauga?

No, Toronto's deadliest hurricane ever.


I guess the Globe & Mail headline was a little premature - 81 people died.

[And I'm not sure what "69 lost" means.   They got lost?]

But Hazel first hit the US in the Carolina's, causing massive damage.  Same as is forecast with Florence.

Hope she doesn't take the same path north as Hazel.
