Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know that my Facebook page was shut down without any warning by Facebook this past Saturday, June 8th. All I was told was that I had violated their community standards. I don't know what triggered that; they didn't tell me. I was told this may be permanent or for six months.
My guess is that it may be because I posted several comments and articles from my Substack page about the riots in LA, and that must have triggered/angered someone, and they complained, thus Facebook shut me down. I don't know this as fact, though. I have appealed this decision, and I'm still waiting for their reply. I have read on X that this has happened to other Facebook users posting about the LA riots as well.
I always share my weather blog posts (that I post here) on my Facebook page and my X page. This included over twelve different New Mexico and West Texas Facebook Community sites. So there are thousands of you out there (based on my views and shares of those posts) who will no longer see those posts. My Facebook page may or may not be restored.
This is another good reason (as the National Weather Service often reminds us) to have multiple ways of receiving severe weather alerts when severe weather threatens your location. My weather web page is one of those ways, and I really appreciate all of you who have and still do use it. Thank you so much!!!
If my Facebook page is restored, I will continue to share my weather blog posts and some of the NWS Watches and Warnings...as I have been doing for years now.
Quote- "When I first saw this video it was identified by the Pennsylvania Storm Chasers as being from York County, PA (one of the places in which I toured the flooding last week), I figured it was a hoax. Not the video itself, but the fact that it happened during this flood, in this location. People are quick to claim an extreme weather photo or video is from the latest storm, without researching it.
Sadly this one is for real, says the York Daily Record, which has vetted the video and compared it against local geography, saying "The exact location was not identified. But landmarks visible in the video include signs for Les Lane and nearby Spring Valley County Park, which is in southern York County."
I can take it one step further and tell you exactly where it happened: Seaks Run Road (Route 216) at Les Lane. Click on the map below to explore. This precise location is proven by the two signs in a video shot from inside the bus (warning: profanity), one recommending a left turn for the park, and the other being Les Lane on their right, and both shown below."
I could not believe what I was seeing when I watched these two videos, courtesy of AccuWeather. Warning...the students are using foul language. This is a good example of NOT following the"Turn Around...Don't Drown"rule. They were lucky they all didn't get swept away into that raging river and drowned.
