Confirmation bias. It could just be a couple hundred yards that tornado tore through and it won’t ever touch that place again, yet the media will only show you the absolute worst of it (and sometimes also fake it when it deems the devastation insufficient, hello Anderson Cooper), so you think it’s like that all over. It’s not. Moreover the same is the case with nearly all news coverage. Death and devastation sells ads.
