I'm asking why the US doesn't own a blimp with a base station taped to the bottom.

Well, the US doesn't run any phone companies... a bettee question is why don't the telephone companies own or borrow a dirigible to provide emergency services. Hazards of dirigibles in huricane season might be part of it, of course.

Hurricanes would blow it away

That would require the government to be innovative.
