Duke, I don't usually post songs in other people's comments. But despite the high success rate of your post today, Mindy Smith's Hurricane is by far the best, most bittersweet song of this name.
Mindy Smith: Hurricane
Hope hope the kid comes soon, man!
cowboy mouth's hurricane party will get the place jumping
I vote for Rick Berlin - the Movies's song titled 'Hurricane'
Um, Josh Ritter's song "To the Dogs or Whoever" has a short lyric about a hurricane... does that count? :P
I like David Berkeley's "Hurricane."
When did Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" become an after-thought
Because this is the "Late Greats" dummy...

Ani Difranco's cover of Bob Dylan's "Hurricane".
Greg Trooper's song "No Higher Ground" from *Make It Through This World* is about the early 1900s hurricane in Galveston, TX. It's a wonderfuly composed, tuneful song. Ironically, he recorded it in 2005 before Katrina but much of it seems relevant to the strom 100 years later.
Fred Eaglesmith's "Wilder Than Her" (covered by Dar Williams) is worthy of honorable mention for the song's core lyrics: "She's a thunder storm, I'm a hurricane. One just blows through town, one blows the town away."
Following Fay and with Hannah setting her sights on us, I'd like to recognize Florida song-writer Will McLean's timeless tune "Hold Back the Waters" written about the Hurricane of 1928.
Quoting a comment by McClean:
"Lake Okeechobee, in south central Florida, just north of the Everglades, is the second-largest fresh water lake wholly within the United States. It covers 750 square miles. Between September 12-17 of 1928, a hurricane sweeping out of the West Indies virtually lifted the waters from the lake bed and sent them swirling down on the countryside. Four thousand people were drowned."
