Thanks again.

I think the two lines you cited are similar to "all barks and no bite".
They are used in describing something looks like having strong and impressing atmosphere but indeed there is nothing happened from the surface you saw. Just like sometimes we can hear the thundering keeps sounding loudly but as a result there is no rain which is supposed to be.
Hope it helps
