About Hurricane
Hurricane is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the county.
The name Hurricane comes from a nearby stream called Little Hurricane Creek. This creek flows into a larger stream called Big Laurel Creek.
You can find Hurricane where two main roads meet: US 25/US 70 and NC 208. This community is also part of the larger Asheville area, which is a big group of towns and cities connected together.
