Does anyone have a starlink they're running through Ida?

I don't have a starlink, but I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has one that they're keeping up through the storm.
Would it still work through a hurricane? If it doesn't, at least you'll have network after it passes unlike cox, att, etc that will be down for days

Are there many people getting their starlink now? I preordered a long time ago and still haven’t heard a thing. I thought they were supposed to start in the northern US and work their way down? I’m in Oklahoma and rural AF so figured I would have had some availability by this time.

I don't know of anyone that has StarLink this far south yet. They are still in beta I believe. My brother up around Seattle has been on the wait list for a while and still doesn't have a dish yet.

Sherman, TX is the furthest south I’ve heard.

I have it in Northwest Alabama so I don’t know about how it held up during the hurricane weather. I would be interested to know also. I have only had limited use of mine. It is running security cameras for a house I’m remodeling. We will have heavy rain the next couple of days so I will try to report how it has done with those conditions. I ran a couple speed test today and was getting around 100 down and 20 up.

Don't know why the downvotes 
If it can get a signal it will work. If not, it won't.
