Tropical Storm Prep

[FlyAU98]

So Erika is on her way to visit South Florida....

What do I do to prep the pool? First time with a pool and a potential hurricane.

Most likely scenario:
-Multiple inches of rain over a day
-Lots of leaves blown in to the water
-Some gravel off the roof into the pool
-6 hours of no power

Most dangerous scenario:
-12"+ of rain, overflowing the pool and possibly flooded area around it bringing the lawn into the pool
-Lots of leaves blown in to the water
-Some gravel off the roof into the pool
-Flooded yard puts the pump underwater
-Multiple day loss of commercial power, but I have generator power and can run the pump, but can't commit to 8 hours a day

I can have about 10 gallons of Chlorine on hand.

There is already at least 1 thread discussing this. Perhaps read that and then ask questions if you still have them.

I looked...didn't see one and posted this. Thanks for the help.

For anyone else that may come across this thread...here is a link to the one reply thread I was apparently referred to:
