It is still a big storm, and will cause a lot of damage and problems, but it also dropped back down to a Cat 3 before landfall, and looks to be moving pretty quickly out to the Atlantic.
The panic and hyperbole seems unnecessary. Not to downplay the real problems that are happening, just reminding the chicken littles that the sky is not falling. Probably won't be bad enough to drag Dark Brandon out of the basement to eye-laser the floodwaters away.
