We get that in our daily thunderstorms. I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THE STATE OF fl DECLARED IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY?!? The descriptions and emotions being drummed up are the same as we get when there is a cat 2-4 headed this way.
I do not think the media performs a service when they over hype to assure audience following.

I'm often amused at the horror expressed by the media at the prospect of 30 mph winds here. Those winds were a drop in the bucket on Lake Michigan shoreline towns. Have sailed in them occasionally.
Weather sells.
