The Great Toronto Hurricane Heist: Did a Hurricane Really Steal Our Beach Towels?
Toronto! City of life, love, and... hurricanes? Well, maybe not full-blown, palm-tree-toppling kind of hurricanes, but the weather can get a little wild here, eh? So, the burning question is: has a hurricane ever bum-rushed the CN Tower and scarfed all our poutine reserves?
Hold Your Horses (and Timbits): Not Exactly a Hurricane Hotspot
The good news, folks (and don't worry, we'll get to the not-so-good news in a sec), Toronto isn't exactly prime real estate for hurricanes. We're a bit too far north for those tropical troublemakers to pack their full punch. We're talking chillier waters and all that jazz.
But Hey, Weather is Fickle: The Case of Hazel (RIP Our Lawns)
Now, here's where things get interesting. Back in 1954, a hurricane named Hazel decided to take a detour from its Caribbean vacation and crash the Canadian party. By the time it reached Toronto, it wasn't a full-on hurricane anymore, but it still packed a wallop. We're talking heavy rain, strong winds, and enough flooding to make a beaver say "uncle." So, while Toronto wasn't directly hit by a hurricane, it did feel the after-effects of a grumpy one.

So, How Many Hurricanes Have Hit Toronto Exactly?
Technically, zero. Hazel wasn't a hurricane by the time it reached Toronto, but more of a grumpy ex-hurricane with an axe to grind (or should we say, a flood to unleash?).
