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.
Chaves Co, NM Slow Right Moving Supercell - 5-30-2021.
Brief Multi-Vortex Tornado.
As I was watching a brief multi-vortex tornado touch down directly to my northwest another storm chaser/spotter reported a tornado 10 miles southwest of Midway at 4:30 PM MDT. Several brief dust whirls appeared under that large ground-hugging rotating wall cloud I was watching. My Spotter Network report showed the time of my tornado report at 5:03 PM MDT. I had to re-locate further east along NM State Hwy 13 to get an internet signal...so there was a 30-minute delay in my report. The actual time of the touchdowns I observed should have been 4:27 PM MDT. This happens a lot in Eastern and Southeastern New Mexico where you don't always have an internet signal.
Funnel Cloud.
A brief funnel cloud dropped down to my northwest. It lasted about a minute. It has been years since I have this type of color contrast within a storm of this magnitude. This supercell thunderstorm cycled multiple times with both shelf clouds and wall clouds visible at the same time. Scud clouds were numerous getting sucked up into the wall clouds too. Tail clouds came and went with the wall clouds but none were as stark in contrast as the one while the storm was in Lincoln County.
The Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction!
