The media is all
"Batten down the hatches."
"Don't go outside!"
" The bridges will all collapse!"
"Sandbag your house!"
"WERE ALL GONNA DIE!"

So far, all I've gotten in Tucson is a gentile rain that is watering my landscape so I don't have to.

Tomorrow may be different but, so far, like with ISIL, the media has no credibility.
