When I turn on my computer, the first newsfeeds I get, are 'danger to life storms', 'Covid is back worse than ever', and other scare stories.
It seems to me that news is exaggerated to show the worse case scenarios....why?

People like drama and destruction.
While some people watch auto racing for the skill of the drivers, most of us fall asleep watching it, until there's a crash and then we pay attention..

I didn't find it stressful, more irritating.

It's arrived! Mostly down south at the moment but it's blowing a hooley outside here just now and lashing it down!
