Would that have been legal? If your pond is truly a natural pond and not a man-made retention pond with a liner then it might enjoy a certain level of protection against interference. It *might* not be legal to pump water out of it except to prevent homes from flooding.
Weeks before Helene hit there might not have been any indication that Helene would actually hit and certainly no indication that there would be a Milton, that it would grow as it did, and that it would dump this much water on our area.
I suppose asking how it could be prevented was a bad question. A better question would be what signs that there was something to prevent were ignored and what reasonable and legal actions were indicated but not taken? Monday morning quarterbacking is pretty simple, Saturday predictions and Sunday real-time coaching are much more difficult.
