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.

Good News T-Storms Return Today.
Bad News - Some May Be Severe!

Overnight the dryline backed westward into Southeastern New Mexico and as of 9 AM MDT this Wednesday morning it was located along the east slopes of the Sacramento and Guadalupe Mountains. The Dunken Raws is reporting a dew point temperature of 54 and the Queen Raws 53. Low-level southeasterly upslope flow will continue to import moisture into the area today. And easterly upslope flow behind the cold front will add to the mix.

At sunrise, a stationary front was draped along a line from near Clines Corners to north of Roswell and near Portales. The front will sag southward today providing additional lift and support for thunderstorm activity. 

Southeastern New Mexico and nearby West Texas will see the triple point set up today which will also aid in the development of thunderstorms. As will outflow boundaries from last night's thunderstorms.

Overall a fairly decent setup will exist over the area today into tonight for thunderstorm development. Some storms may become severe and produce large to very large hail, damaging thunderstorm wind gusts possibly in the 60-80 mph range, deadly cloud to ground lightning, and localized heavy rainfall which could produce localized flash flooding. 

An isolated tornado or two is not out of the question. Remember supercell thunderstorms can and do produce tornadoes. 

Yesterday marked the 31st anniversary of the Wagon Wheel F-2 Tornado that touched down south of Carlsbad on May 31st, 1991 at 8:39 PM MDT. 

21 people were injured by the tornado. The tornado was exactly 285 yards wide and a mile long. The tornado lifted shortly after it destroyed a garage full of vehicles at the corner of Harkness and Old Cavern Highway. The time that the tornado was on the ground was only minutes according to witnesses. 

Thirteen mobile homes were completely destroyed and fifty-seven other homes, barns, sheds, and outbuildings were damaged by the tornado. See my blog post with the photos I took via the link above.

There Are None So Blind As Those Who "Will - Not" To See...107.
