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.

High Winds/Blowing Dust & Extreme To Historical Fire Danger Today!

Friday, May 24, 2024 Blue 2 Fire - Slurry Drop. Northwest Of Ruidoso, NM. Extreme To Historical Fire Danger Today! Every single county in New Mexico is under Red Flag Warnings  today...something that you don't see very often. Extreme to Extremely Critically Dangerous Fire Weather Conditions are in place across a large part of the state. With hundreds of thousands of people celebrating the Memorial Day Holiday weekend outdoors today through Monday, it is imperative that extreme caution be exercised when it comes to any outdoor activities that will create a spark or flame!  The best practice given the current extreme fire danger across much of the state is...don't engage in any outdoor activity that will create sparks or flames today into Monday. I know this will upset some but the stakes are simply too high to risk an accidental fire developing.  Any wildfire, forest fire, grassland, or range fire will have the ability to rapidly spread and grow and develop into a life-th...

Southern Chaves County Supercell Chase. A supercell thunderstorm developed southwest of Roswell, New Mexico in southern Chaves County on Saturday afternoon, May 11, 2024. This storm initially was moving off to the northeast then like so many of its predecessors began to make that famous right turn to the east and then east-southeast with time. Thus a right mover.  A couple of public reports of golf ball-sized hail were received and radar indicated that the hail may have been bigger at times. A three-body scatter strike signature (TBSS) was noted in the base reflectively of the storm which is indicative of very large hail. This happens when the ...
