Also, have we come to a collective conclusion on pool etiquette before a storm? Empty / Leave full. This is my #1 fear during Hurricane season

If you have a gunite or fiberglass pool I would leave it full.

If you have a liner with no real shallow ends (i.e. Mine has an 11 inch deep ledge), then you can let out an inch or two. If you have a shallow end don't let any water out and just waste the water if it gets too high

If you have an overflow drain you should be fine.

I also recommend underground drainage to a sump pump to pull excess ground water from the pool (put this in by the base of the pool before you cover it in dirt/sand/concrete.

However there is no need to drain the damn thing as all that does is increase the risk of a structural event.
