Preparedness mitigates fear.
Using hyperbole every time there is a potentially dangerous storm nullifies the message, and the the media hype every significant weather event these days. Snowmegeddon, snor'easter, perfect storm, hell storm, apocalyptic precipitation... it's all ridiculous sensationalism of weather events.
They aren't Hollywood movies. They are weather events. The media should keep it in perspective.
Be vigilant, prepared, and you'll be fine.
