The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Hurricane Township is a township in Carroll County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. The population was 605 at the 2020 census. Hurricane Township took its name from Big Hurricane Creek.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 701 to 605 (-14%). Half of its homes were built before 1973.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Hurricane yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Hurricane has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Locust Hill in Brunswick, 15.1 miles away.
