Any damage reports from Jupiter Farms?

My son and daugher-in-law live there but went to Stuart for the storm as his house in Jupiter is a wood frame house. Any information would be helpful.

I have a cbs house in the farms...I lost a couple screens from the pool enclosure, and I have alot of standing water on the property. If their house is older they may have a little flooding, but not a whole lot. The older the house the lower they were built. My neighbors house is wood and built in the 70's and the only damage other than trees down is standing water in the yard.The whole 2.5 acres is flooded, but the house is dry...
Hope this eases your mind.

Thank you Jupiter. They just bought the house about 2 months ago which is on 1 1/4 acres and they flood if there is a hard rain. They hadn't been able to go to their house yet because of the flooding that was sustained at the Stuart location. It is ironic that they lived in Homestead and wanted to move somewhere where they didn't have to go through so many hurricanes. Again thank you. :D

Most of the damage in Jupiter is flooding. Some more debris and of course the traffic lights are all out. We live off of Center Street and just got our power back around 5:00. There is very little structural damage south of Hobe Sound. I have not been to the Farms yet, but they haven't mentioned any structural damage on the TV reports.
