I've always thought "I'll come in a hurricane for you" was a sexual
reference to...umm, carrying on in a demonstrative way at the peak
moment. The only literal reference I can think of off the top of my
head (not a sexual reference) is the Texas Tall Tale of Pecos Bill,
who tamed and rode a tornado. I seriously doubt that Kate would be
"Pecos Bill for you," no matter how much "poetry in motion" you wrote
her.
