rnoaa station data pull times out

I'm trying to pull NOAA data using R. I've done this pull before but all of a sudden it's not working. I have rnoaa loaded (package/library) and I have an authorization key from the NOAA. I try to run this command:

station_data <- ghcnd_stations()

And I get this error:

Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(x$url$url, handle = x$url$handle) : Timeout was reached: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received

I found pages online that suggested updating everything. First I updated all my packages and then updated to a new version of R. All that done, it's still giving me a timeout message with this simple command. I know that the ghcnd pull sometimes take a while, but it's timing out after about 10 seconds. Is this just an noaa issue (as is sometimes the case) and I should try again tomorrow? Or is there something I can actually do to make this work? Can I change the timeout period so that it waits longer? Is the NOAA just overloaded because of the hurricane?

Looks like it was just something on the NOAA end of things. It took a day, but it's finally back up and running properly.
