Flow Jamaica Partners With Elon Musk's Starlink To Help Hurricane Melissa Victims

Starlink confirmed its decision early on 29 October 2025 through an announcement on X (formerly Twitter). The company wrote: 'For those impacted by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and the Bahamas, Starlink service is now free through the end of November to help with response and recovery efforts'.

Hurricane Melissa, with winds exceeding 165 mph, caused severe damage to homes, roads, and network infrastructure. Elon Musk's Starlink responded quickly, as it has in past crises such as Hurricane Helene in the US in 2024, when similar aid was offered.

The deal integrates Starlink's Direct to Cell technology with Flow's existing network infrastructure to provide emergency mobile coverage during natural disasters.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

And less covered is that Elon sends private jets with food and supplies to Hurricane stricken areas as well.

Conservatives owe Elon Musk a debt of gratitude for buying Twitter, and securing a safe space for free speech. It continues to come at great cost to him. (Not so much financial, but personal - he has invited a lot of hostility for all his MAGA support in general.)

Good for Elon... on so many levels. I'll bet he's debating saving the Chinese stranded in space. Do we need someone 'above it all'? Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not sure either.

I watch Flightradar24 on a regular basis. The only aircraft flying around Jamaica I’ve seen are U.S (Blackhawks and Chinooks). I decided to look just before posting this and a Canadian Globemaster just took off from Kingston so apparently Canada is helping, too.

Interesting. Yes the photos I’ve seen look like military planes.
