I live close by you in St. Cloud, and I am just going to lower the level to the bottom tile. The three hurricanes that affected us in 2004, did not give us the problems we thought we would have.
If the level starts to rise above the coping, then and only then will I drain back down.
I would remove any umbrellas in the pool area though, and plastic chairs.
If the power goes off, then have some trichlor pucks and bleach available.
Otherwise that's all I do.
Hope this helps.
Pat
