water there isn't deep enough to really do anything for the storm. it would represent a reduced-friction zone, so that winds moving across it at the surface would accelerate as compared to winds over normal terrain. negligible effects overall, but probably an extra pain-in-the-butt if you happen to live a little upwind of the lake. the '28 hurricane that killed so many people piled water up on one side of the lake and topped the levees... flooded some farming communities that were set up in the fertile floodplain. levees today are much higher and it would take a very strong hurricane moving just right to overwash them.
