Hurricane is an unincorporated communityinPontotoc County, Mississippi, United States.[1] It was originally called Esperanza, but the name changed due to being impacted by several severe storms.

History[edit]

The Esperanza Post Office was established in 1871[2] and continued into the early 1900s.[3] The population in 1900 was 26.[3] But sometime before 1900, the inhabitants began calling the community "Hurricane" after it was hit by a hurricane season storm from the Gulf of Mexico.[2] The New Prospect Baptist Church, originally housed in a 1880s wood building, was renamed Hurricane Baptist in 1940 when a two-story brick building replaced the prior structure.[4]

On April 27, 2011, a tornado touched down in the Esperanza area as part of the 2011 Super Outbreak, but apparently caused no damage.[5]

Notes[edit]
