rode out
Survived the storm
Rode out means to endure or survive something difficult by waiting for it to pass.
The image comes from ships riding out a storm at anchor rather than fleeing or fighting it: We rode out the hurricane in the basement, The company rode out the recession without layoffs.
The phrase suggests patient endurance rather than active resistance.
