"Hurricane" is a song co-written by Thom Schuyler, Keith Stegall, and Stewart Harris.
It was released in July 1981 as the lead single and title track from Everette's album Hurricane.
[3] Jerry Sharpe of The Pittsburgh Press wrote that the song "defeats the standard old formulas for successful country music lyrics — no love story, no sex, no booze, no tragedy.
"[3] An uncredited review in Billboard said that "Everette's distinctive vocals are the perfect vehicle for this tale of man's struggle against the elements.
"[4] Dave Marsh was less favorable in The New Rolling Stone Record Guide, calling Everette a "poor man's Johnny Lee" and said the song was "almost an interesting ballad".
