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.

Whaddaya, nutz? Can you say, "Camille?"
Forget the fish, get ready to get out of town.
Seriously, I have been through about six of them in Florida and North
Carolina and mostly partied. Looking back the only thing that saved me was
luck that I was never where the worst of the storm surge was. It is not the
wind, rain, and lack of power that kills people.
As for the fish, on your way out of town lower the water as much as
possible. Of course, in Camille, the storm surge was TWENTYFOUR FEET, so you
may have some extra water in the pond on your return.
Camille started the same place as this new one.
