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.

Windy Point Vista - Near Ski Apache (Ruidoso, NM) Time-Lapse Video. 8-24-2023.

August 24, 2023. Looking East From Windy Point Vista. East Of Ski Apache & Sierra Blanca Peak. Click On the link below to see my Substack post and upload of the video. It has a sharper resolution that the YouTube version.  Last Thursday, August 24th I drove up to Ruidoso, New Mexico to shoot some video and photos of thunderstorms. I ended up on the Windy Point Vista (9,951’ above sea level) just east of Ski Apache and Sierra Blanca Peak in the Sacramento mountains of south-central New Mexico. Thunderstorms were developing to my east so I set up my Gopro HERO11 Black camera on the tripod and the rest is history. A scud cloud briefly developed beneath the base of the thunderstorm. This was not a funnel cloud or tropical funnel cloud nor a tornado. The thunderstorm it formed underneath of was not a supercell thunderstorm and a wall cloud never developed. This scud cloud was fragmented when it first formed then gradually elongated and stretched upward towards the base of the thund...

TS Harold Remnant Moisture - 72-Hour Rainfall Summary

Image
72-Hour Rainfall Summary. Remnant moisture from former Tropical Storm Harold brought the summers most widespread heavy rainfall to the southern Sacramento mountains. Lesser totals fell across the southern half of the state yesterday. The far eastern and southeastern plains missed out. I added the Multisensor radar 24-hour rainfall totals. It's very easy to see the rainfall left behind as the remnant tropical moisture streamed northwest from the Gulf of Mexico. Please feel free to add your rainfall totals in the comments and be sure and tell the general location of where you measured the rainfall. Early reports of some of the heaviest rainfall 3-day totals (most of this fell yesterday) reported so far this morning (as of 7:30 AM) include: PWS Pierce Canyon S of Cloudcroft 3.78" PWS W of Sacramento 3.86" PWS In Cloudcroft 3.73" Dog Canyon Raws (Guadalupe Mtns) 3.54" PWS Russia Canyon 3.41" PWS NW of Mountain Park 3.34" Cloudcroft CoCoRaHS Station 0.4 ESE...
