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.

Latest SPC Public Severe Weather Outlook.


NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK.

   Issued At 0212 AM CDT/1:22 AM MDT MON MAY 20 2019

   ...Outbreak of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms expected over
   parts of the southern Plains this afternoon and tonight...

   * LOCATIONS...
     Northwest Texas
     Western and central Oklahoma

   * HAZARDS...
     Numerous tornadoes, several intense and long track
     Widespread damaging winds, some hurricane force
     Widespread large hail, some baseball size

   * SUMMARY...
     An outbreak of tornadoes, some potentially long-track and
     violent, is expected today into this evening over portions of
     northwest Texas into western and central Oklahoma. More-isolated
     but still potentially dangerous severe weather, including
     tornadoes, is possible in surrounding parts of Texas, Oklahoma,
     Kansas, and Arkansas.

   Preparedness actions...

   Review your severe weather safety procedures for the possibility
   of dangerous weather today. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, 
   weather.gov, or other media for watches and warnings. A tornado
   watch means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form
   during the next several hours. If a tornado warning is issued for
   your area, move to a place of safety, ideally in a basement or
   interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building.

  1. A weather radio with a backup power source is the only truly reliable medium to receive weather and disaster alerts so you can stay in touch with what’s going on around you. Know more from https://weatherstationprofy.com/best-weather-radios
