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.

Monday, August 29, 2022. Looking SE From C-Hill In Carlsbad. MRMS 24-Hour Rainfall Totals. (As Of 9 AM MDT Tuesday Morning). NWS New Mexico MesoWest 24-Hour Rainfall Totals. (As Of 9 AM MDT Tuesday Morning). SE New Mexico & West Texas CoCoRaHS 24-Hour Rainfall Totals. (As Of 9 AM MDT Tuesday). Local 24-Hour Rainfall Totals. Yesterday afternoon thunderstorms produced localized heavy rainfall. The heaviest rainfall fell just north of Red Bluff Reservoir on the New Mexico/Texas State Line southeast of Carlsbad. Estimates as high as 5" may have fallen.  Another pocket of heavy rainfall fell 20 miles east of Carlsbad just northwest of the WIPP Site. Both of these totals noted above may be a little high since radar indicated that the thunderstorms that produced this heavy rainfall also were producing hail. Hail tends to exaggerate the estimated rainfall totals in a storm. A second complex/line of thunderstorms developed north of Roswell after sunset and moved south and southwest int...

Pecos River Flooding - High Water Rescue. It appears that the Pecos River flood crest of 17.36' at 1:45 PM MDT on Sunday, August 21, 2022, might be a new record at the Acme Gauge northeast of Roswell. We will have to wait for the final review from the USGS to know for sure. Initially, the forecast flood crest of the Pecos River at the Lake Arthur Gauge was 27' which would have been five feet above its historical record crest of 21.9' on September 24, 1941. The forecast crest was lowered down to around 20' but crested well below these forecasts at 13.37' at 3:45 PM MDT on Friday, August 26, 2022.  Saturday, August 20, 2022. Flash Fl...
