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.

Hit & Miss T-Storms To Continue Into The Weekend.      Those of you who have been lucky enough to get "hit" with one the stronger thunderstorms over the past week may have gotten upwards of an inch or more of rain. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still holding our hats out "begging" for something measurable so to speak. Not much change in the overall thinking going forward into the weekend. Hit and miss thunderstorms each afternoon will continue with some lasting well into the overnight hours. Some of us will get lucky and get a decent rain while most won't. The mountains are still favored to have the best chances of getting wet.      ...
