 Hazel's lessons learned
[Final Edition]
The Record

Kitchener, Ont.
[Hazel] left 100,000 people in Haiti homeless as it headed north in all its fury. By the time it passed through the states and hit Ontario, Hazel had been downgraded from a hurricane to an extratropical storm. Hazel would have been nothing by the time it hit Ontario if the storm hadn't combined with another weather system in Ontario, [David Phillips] said. The answer would come 20 years after Hazel, when the 1974 Grand River flood closed bridges and shut down much of downtown Galt. That year, the river rose even higher than during Hazel's assault. Subsequently, $25 million was poured into building dikes and channels through Cambridge, and flood control was the main concern the conservation authority.
