Hurricane Creek is a tributary of the Black Warrior River located in Southwestern Tuscaloosa County in western Alabama. It is over 30 miles long and its watershed covers approximately 120 square miles. It is used by communities around it, including the city of Tuscaloosa, for recreation and offers a wide variety of aquatic life and quality aesthetics. Three areas of this stream are on the federal 303(d) list of impaired streams, meaning they are protected by the Clean Water Act from further degradation. Current threats to water quality include active coal mining, abandoned mine lands, siltation, and some areas with high fecal coliform bacteria levels. The origin of the name is obscure; it may recall a hurricane event, or be named after a settler called Harricane or Harrigan.

WTBC (AM)

WTBC (1230 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a sports radio format. Licensed to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States, the station serves the greater Tuscaloosa area. The station is owned by Townsquare Media. It was also the first media position that James Spann ever had in the media. In May 2016, it was announced that Townsquare Media would be buying WTBC and sister station WNPT-FM (now WFMA) for $550,000. (Alabama Broadcast Media Page) According to published reports, WNPT-FM would go sports and WTBC would retain the Catfish Country format, once the new owners take over. Townsquare Media's purchase of the stations was consummated on July 15, 2016. As of this update, Catfish Country is now being heard exclusively on WTBC and translator W261BT, branded as Catfish 100.1. Under the ownership of Townsquare Media, WTBC provides regular weather coverage from WVUA in Tuscaloosa, under the direction of their Chief Meteorologist Richard Scott. During times of active severe, tropical, and Winter weather events, WTBC provides West Alabama's only live and local weather coverage on the radio, with local, in house, Staff Meteorologist Bobby Best. Additionally, under the ownership of Townsquare Media and the direction of Market President/Chief Revenue Officer David R. Dubose, WTBC also provides West Alabama radio's only live and local news coverage with News Director Don Hartley and West, Alabama's only live and local traffic coverage with Traffic Reporter Capt'n Ray. On October 12, 2023, WTBC changed its format from classic country (which moved to WTUG-HD2) to sports, branded as "Tide 100.9" and switched translators to W265CG 100.9 FM Tuscaloosa.
