Loved the repeated references to the unincorporated community named "Horr" in western Isabella County.
Is that even a real place? I have a feeling many of the unincorporated community names that appear on weather map software haven't seen common use since the early 1900s!

Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

It happens as well in Toledo. The long-abandoned ghost town of "Ai" gets mentioned during severe weather alerts. I wonder how many viewers care about these small unincorporated communities?

I learned via Google that "Horr" (pronounced just like "Whore") is named after a former Congressman who represented Michigan in the 1890s.
Most politicians are indeed whores, so that name is quite fitting.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Same thing in Genesee County. Duffield is nothing more than a railroad crossing. Over 100 years ago, it might have been a community, when the trains stopped there.

I’ve seen them list Bowne center and North Dorr which is nothing there

Those tiny, tiny towns!
We can kinda find 'West Olive' when necessary?
Try finding 'South Popeye'! I think the Sears Tower used to be there?

So many of these places aren't even "officially" recognized unincorporated communities or CDPs. Wild.

I thought Saugatuck was small, but there is an East Saugatuck too.
