?? Is It Possible ???
Is it possible for a hurricane, such as Ike, to make it's way to Dallas, find Lake Ray Hubbard and build itself back up to a category 1 or better? Has it ever happened before?  I really don't no the answer.

Yes, it will travel all over the state of Texas looking for the largest, warmest lake, sit over the lake for about 3 hours to build up and wreak havoc upon the whole state. The end is near, be very very scared!!!!!!!

One in a million chance a category 1 hurricane passes over Dallas. You have better luck preparing for your next derecho.

Dallas is waay too far inland to suffer any major damage as the direct result of a hurricane. It would only be a low grade tropical storm by the time it reached Dallas as in the case with IKE. Points further south & east like Tyler & Lufkin however are a lot more susceptible to hurricane force winds because they're closer towards the Texas-Louisiana border, the path where hurricanes tend to travel after they hit the Texas coast.

Hurricanes are fueled by water, once they make landfall they pretty much break apart. Once they reach Dallas they are no longer a hurricane. I don't think there is a lake in the world big enough to fuel a Hurricane.
