Most people looking at the name "Hurricane" would assume that it is pronounced like the usual "hurricane" when referring to cyclonic storms. However, if you want to really stand out when visiting the town, say it like that. The way people who live there pronounce it is hur'i'kun (the "i" is often pronounced like a short "u" or the upside down "e"). The old-timers, who are usually descendants of the original settlers will call it "hair'u'kun". They have their own accent handed down and 'morphed' through generations of Mormon pioneers who migrated from England.
