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.

We Went Chasing Today.


We Found The Dryline On The Caprock At Maljamar, NM This Morning.

Our Four thirty am alarm clock wasn't very welcome this morning but my wife and I rose to the occasion. We left Carlsbad by 6:15 am and headed to Lubbock for my doctors appointment. We found the dryline hugging the Caprock at Maljamar with some fog and stratus clouds.

 Lubbock was windy and chilly up until noontime when the sun finally peaked through the crud. After lunch and some shopping we decided to head north to Amarillo after the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) cut a Tornado Watch for the Panhandle.

After gassing up in Amarillo we quickly turned to the southwest and headed to Hereford to try and intercept a couple of storms making an effort to get serious. By the time we arrived they had scooted north of us so we headed south to Dimmit where a couple more storms we trying to get their act together. A few raindrops was all we found outside of Dimmit.

Southward we journeyed with the buffeting strong southeast wind we encountered all day long. The pockets of blowing dust and sand weren't much fun nor were the 40 mph gusts. Today was our first chase of the season and we busted big time. Not that this is anything new to me in my 43 years of chasing. I was really hoping to get in front of a classic supercell near Amarillo but this was not to be.

As the sun was setting I captured the last picture above. A few more miles down the road a couple bolts of lightning added their sparkling touch to the darkening sky to our west. Nice way to end the day even though we failed to nail a good storm.

We talked and gawked at the countryside as the day wore on. Saw some long horn cattle, lots of feed lots, freshly plowed and cultivated farm land, winter wheat fields, and of course miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles. Solved all of the worlds problems and then some too. Overall it was a really good day. Why? Because we went chasing...together!
