A Message From the Owner of What Is Happening In New Mexico & Texas
The past two weeks have been challenging, exhausting, and relentless. Across our region, we have witnessed some of the most significant flooding in recent memory, alongside frequent tornado warnings and rounds of severe, unpredictable weather.
As a storm chaser, I will be the first to admit that tracking severe weather is something I am deeply passionate about. Being out in the field monitoring storms is a dream realized for me. However, I never lose sight of the fact that the intensity of extreme weather brings fear, stress, and hardship to many in our communities.
While tracking these systems excites my passion for meteorology, my highest priority will always be the safety and well-being of the people in the path of the storm.
That is why tonight, I want to step back from the radar, the forecasts, and the storm tracking to extend my deepest gratitude and support to all of you.
My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to everyone who has been impacted by these severe weather events. These past two weeks have served as a powerful reminder of the emotional and physical toll extreme weather takes on a community. Please know that as you rebuild and recover, our community remains in my prayers.
To everyone who follows What Is Happening In New Mexico & Texas: thank you. It is deeply humbling that nearly 17,000 of you trust this platform to deliver reliable weather updates, clear information, and critical safety facts when you need them most.
Weather data can often feel overwhelming—full of complex radar images, technical models, and confusing terminology. One of the main reasons I founded this page was to bridge that gap. My goal is to translate complex meteorological data into clear, actionable information so that you and your family can stay informed, prepared, and safe.
To be completely candid, tonight I am feeling the weight of the last two weeks. Keeping up with continuous severe weather while balancing a demanding full-time career requires long nights, early mornings, and very little sleep. Most people will never see the sheer number of hours dedicated behind the scenes to keep this page running around the clock.
Both my daily career and this platform are rooted in the exact same principle: a commitment to serving others.
Public service is my true calling. The long hours, fatigue, and missed sleep are entirely worth it knowing that the information shared here helps someone make a safer decision for their family. Every message of encouragement and every simple "thank you" from this community reinforces why I do this work. It is the greatest reward I could ask for.
To our long-time followers who have been here since day one—thank you for sharing our posts, trusting our updates, and helping this community grow. To our newest followers—welcome aboard.
This journey is only beginning. As severe weather continues to impact our region, I remain dedicated to tracking the storms, delivering accurate forecasts, and serving the people of New Mexico, Texas, and beyond.
Thank you for your continued trust, support, and dedication to this community. It is a privilege to serve you.
Sincerely,
David Guajaca

🌩️ Your Weather. Your Safety. Your Community.
