Attenuate

Does "the ravages of the twister are briefly but effectively attenuated" mean "the devastating power of the twister is reduced as it is shown in slow motion"?


Text:
(in the same TV advertising...) In another instance, the ravages of the twister are briefly but effectively attenuated in a short, but highly significant, slow-motion sequence, allowing a fleeting moment of distance which produces a note of melancholy and a sense of loss that would have been missed had Kaye stuck consistently to fast-action shots.
