its all begining to fall apart

So yesterday I turned on the news (like i always do) and the firsst thing I heard was "it's offical, its all begining to fall apart out there." Now, out of context, like I heard it and you just hear it, your guteral respoince should be... wow that's grim, can they say that?, that is something I never watned to hear! untill you realize they are talking about the state of a huricane that has made land fall and is breaking up becouse the lack of "power" derived from warm water. so i guess in that case it is a good thing that things are falling apart.
