Get a generator, comes in handy, not only for the pond but for the power
outage to the house as well, keeping the refrigerator and freezer going. In
lieu of a generator, go to Walmart sporting goods and get several aerators
"Big Bubbles" work on D cell batteries for up to 80 hours.

Put in a liberal dose of baking soda, get the KH up to about 300ppm, the
heavy rains will be acid and eat large quantities of KH. Draw the pond
level down as much as possible, just before the storm hits to keep the water
from running over the top, if possible. If water is to the top, the fish
might decide to swim downstream.

Batten down the hatches and stay dry, and when the storm lets up, go out and
clean any wind driven debris, leaves, branches, etc from the pond.

Is there anything you can do to help a pond better withstand
a hurricane or tropical storm? Or do you just have to let
nature do it's thing? I live about 1 mile off of Mobile bay
and we may have a storm headed our way.

Thanks for any advice,
Robin
