This throws me off a bit as well as it's not really clear as to when this occurred - in 1965 during the storm in Hudsonville, which would make sense, or just an event that occurred during the main narrator's marriage. Regardless, as stated it's mentioned in plenty of other songs - HUDSONVILLE, Splitsville. Stay Happy There.
One big metaphor for failing, collapsing marriage. So it definitely applies to our main narrator/couple even if it doesn't take place during the same timeframe.
"I only know that the rent is still late"
This line actually makes me believe it's during the timeframe of our main narrator. He was jobless and the rent was due, as stated in Splitsville.
