Those that live in Jupiter

[bosag]

Hi. I have a question pertaining to the local shelters. Independence Middle School is supposed to be a shelter? Yet it is on the east side of Military Trail, and technically in a flood zone? Is that safe, We would consider Dwyer.
Also My brother lives off Central Blvd in Indian Creek in those quad apts, he is technically on the border of the surge boundary line. would he be a consideration? We live off Indiantown Rd, by Big Dollar Plaza.

Im not trying to panic, just trying to get the ducks in order (I have 4 kids to worry about!). I hate waiting til the last minute, yet I feel we are "Stuck" not knowing where this girl is heading .

TIA Barb in Jupiter

Hi, I live off central as well, near Jupiter village. Unfortunately since I have only lived here a little over a year, I don't know the answers to your questions but I am anxious to see anything anyone else can tell us. Its getting pretty interesting!!

My guess is.. it's not safe if it's in a flood zone.. May wanna go to a shelter that's away from a flood prone area

I live in Jupiter as well, on Toney Penna. Unfortunately I live in an evac zone since Im right next to Jones Creek.

That's the trouble with Jupiter...
East side of town, you could have the ocean at your front door, while on the west side of town, a little bit of rain puts the swamp at the back door!! I used to live in Hobe Sound, they're in the same boat there.

DANG! Were damned if we do and damned if we dont LOL!

My other brother lives in fort myers,but still the track is a little unsure, and my sister lives right off northlake in lake catherine, shes not in a evac zone and in a Divosta house. (those quad thingys again). so we may go there. What about you guys?

Hi Barb, I'm also in Jupiter but I'm in a evacuation zone. I'm not sure what we are going to do yet, just kind of a wait and see.
Here is a great link that tells you all of the shelters in our area if it looks like we will have to go.

I work for the Town of Jupiter and live in the Farms. Used to live in Brentwood behind the Courier. Independence is on the west side of Military Trail, next to the new skate park. As far as I know, Independence is the only shelter within Town limits. Dwyer is also a shelter but is in PBG.

Independence and Dwyer are the only two in Jupiter. Here's a list published at TCPalm.com:

oh ok, sorry I thought that was Beacon Elelementary. So are these up to hurricane codes, would you feel safe in it. Ive always worried about the windows in school shelters, they dont board them up do they? Just curious

Thanx! Barb

Sorry for the double post, So Mascpa what kind of storm surge can we expect. Hey do you know Paul Brienza? hes my dad (Loxahatchee River District)

[Moody Blues]

We live on the open part of the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter. We will leave and go to our office complex off Central Blvd. near I-95. If you contact the Town of Jupiter or PBC they will tell you where to go. Whatever you do, do not try to leave town at the last minute, you will ride out the storm in your car.

Hey Moody, do you thing the Fairmont Inn (indaintown rd) would be safe, since youll be on Central. My brother is in Indian Creek. Barb
