A big thing is made of storms and cyclones these days, they become a media event all by themselves, with the media constantly telling us ‘it’s the worse storm ever since records began’ and climate change is going to get us, yadda yadda.

Going hand in hand with that narrative is any phone constantly been sent OTT alarmist messages telling us to pack a bag and wait for something really bad to happen..
There’s a point when the boy cries wolf too often..
So we spent a stormy night, with my phone in the garage where it didn’t annoy us anymore, watching ‘Leave the world behind’ (a doomsday movie) on netflix as this seemed appropriate somehow.
The next day was wet without wind, which made it ideal for pulling out weeds and thistles, and other stuff around the house.

Sounds like your news reporters are full of more wind than your cyclones.

It seems to be a worldwide trend. It can be hard to find plain, objective news.
