Why Are My Weather Posts Missing From Facebook.
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.
GFS 500 MB/18,000' MSL Forecast Map Valid 5 PM MST Fri March 4, 2011. Mother Nature Calms Down For A Few Days. As bad as yesterday's weather was, it could have ended up being much worse. Peak wind speeds were not as strong as forecast (see yesterday's summary for a listing of the peak winds across the area) across the Guadalupe Mountains and Eddy County. That is not necessarily a bad thing either. The main core of the strongest winds aloft swept across the northern sections of southeastern New Mexico and eastern New Mexico. Thus the Roswell Airport peaked out at 63 mph , while gusts to 61-64 mph were recorded in the Clovis area. March is upon us, and with this comes the beginning of the meteorological spring, and of course the official start to our windy season. This is not my favorite time of the year trust me. Given the fact that we continue to sink deeper into our ongoing drought, and the fact the La Nina continues to hang on, we can only expect more of what of we...
