    Ernesto will make storm number 4 for me in 2 years, I'm going to do the same for the last 3 storms.

    1)Shock the pool.
    2) Add water to the pool after the storm passes. Frances, Jeanne, and Wilma, I ended up adding water to the pool. All 3 times, I walked out to a swamp where my pool once was....and water level at or below water line.

    As much rain that drops into the pool.........the wind pulls it out just as fast.

    Yeah we were here for the storms of 2004 - but we didn't have a pool, just $12K of water damage to the house . Do you have a screen enclosure?

    Personally - I am not concerned about Ernesto up here now - looks like it will just be a soaker.
