Hurricane, Utah is a city located within Washington County. Hurricane is a neighboring city to St George, Utah, and is approximately 15 miles to the east of St George. The town is pronounced "Hur-a-Kun" by the locals, which sounds similar to the British pronunciation. According to the city’s history, the name was derived from original settlers to the region. When a gale forced wind blew the top off of the buggy they were traveling in; they decided to call it "Hurricane Hill."
Wikipedia shows the original settler, Erastus Snow, was who decided on the name. Research also indicates Erastus Snow was originally from Vermont; however, he served a mission in Scandinavia. Additional research shows that Scandinavians pronounce the latter portion of the word Hurricane as "kan" which could indicate how the unusual pronunciation may have been started from a Vermont native. Longtime locals know this story of the Hurricane type wind yet continue to use the pronunciation of "Hur-a-Kun."
