  1. hurricane deck

    A hurricane deck is a term commonly used in naval architecture, mainly for steamboats, representing the uppermost deck of a ship, which usually extends from the bow to the stern. It's called a hurricane deck because it's exposed to the elements, much like the force and exposure experienced during a hurricane. It is also known as a promenade deck or weather deck on some ships. In steamboat design, this deck often houses the pilot’s house or wheelhouse.

  1. Hurricane Deck

    Hurricane Deck is an unincorporated community in Camden County, Missouri, United States, on the Lake of the Ozarks. It is part of the lake's resort area, and according to one source is named for a tornado which struck the area, tornadoes once being called "hurricanes" locally. According to lakehistory.info it derives its name from the nautical name for the top deck of a river steam ship which is called a "Hurricane Deck" because the wind always blew up there. There is a high ridge at the location on the lake. One of the most distinctive bridges in the Lake of the Ozarks is the Hurricane Deck Bridge which carries Route 5 across the Osage Arm of the lake. The bridge which was completed in 1936 is one of three "upside down" bridges where its truss support is below the road deck enabling passengers in cars to see the lake. The bridge's design is similar to the I-35W Mississippi River bridge bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2007. The other two bridges—the Grand Glaize Bridge over the Grand Glaize Arm and the Niangua Bridge over the Niangua Arm have since been torn down and replaced by girder bridges.
