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.

New Daily Record High Temperatures. (June 2022). With the widespread moderate to heavy rainfall and cooler temperatures over the state over the past couple of weeks, it has been easy to forget how hot the first half of the month was. A total of 111 new daily record high temperatures were set. Leading the pack was the Tucumcari Aiport which set a new all-time June record high temp as well as a new all-time high temp for them of 112º set on the 11th. Their previous all-time record high was 110º set on July 13, 2020. The Carlsbad and Roswell Airports both set new daily record highs of 111º on the 11th and 12th. The Artesia Climate Co-Op Station set a new daily record of 110º on the 13th.  There Are None So Blind As Those Who "Will - Not" To See...107.
