Hurricane Lake

It's oddly interesting that Arkansas, a state that is not located on the ocean, has two wildlife/wilderness areas named after hurricanes. There is Hurricane Creek in the Ozarks, and then Hurricane Lake in the Delta near the metropolis of Bald Knob. Wonder how they both received their names? Did someone name them after their favorite drink that they enjoyed on Bourbon Street in New Orleans?

The Hurricane Lake Wildlife Management Area encompasses about 17,000 acres, which contains several oxbow lakes and bottomland hardwoods. It's a popular spot for hunting and fishing (and also mosquitoes).
