I was told, Hurricane (the town) rhymes with the town next to it, LaVerkin. One or the other town stinks (if I remember correctly) due to a local hot spring. When I lived in Utah, I quickly learned there is a strong local dialect. More interestingly, there were many people whose parents had simply made up their names by altering other more common names.
