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.

Thank you Metro Matt. I appreciate your kind explanation.

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.
