gold,
I'm just around the corner from you in Stuart. We've been through this a couple of times now. We often drain down several inches per week this time of year even without a storm due to localized heavy afternoon thunder storms. So lowering level isn't a bad thing. Just keep in mind that a few days with your pool level high doesn't really hurt anything other than you don't skim. But the high winds interfere with skimming anyway. The main concern I have is lightning damage and power failure. If the storm makes a bee-line for us I know we'll have at least brief power outages plus a LOT of lightning. So I will just dose up with liquid chlorine to the high end of the range and turn everything off at the main breaker for a day or so. I also keep a couple jugs of liquid chlorine available in case we have an extended outage.
I hope this helps.
Chris
