I think the release was tempered with the appropriate amount of caution. I really didn’t think it was over hyped.
And it’s good that they followed the facts, instead of trying hide the observations that failed to match their theory. Initially and later.

Agreed - and that they caught it sooner rather than later. Not like the “Palmdale Bulge” described above. Surveying indicated changes in ground elevation in California, prompting fears of earthquakes, and more surveying and monitoring and millions of dollars and years of study.
“Oops - surveying errors. Sorry!”
