Captain Eli(@TheCaptainEli):Starlink is how towns get a signal after a tornado wipes the towers off the map. A tornado can take down power, fiber, and cell sites in a few minutes. What remains is wreckage and silence. A terminal on a standing roof or a relief truck brings back a working line for shelters, clinics, and families trying to find each other. That is the first network that does not depend on the poles the storm just destroyed.
