tsunami survivors
Outlasted the surge
People who lived through a tsunami—the massive ocean waves triggered by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
The term appears frequently in disaster relief contexts and news coverage: Tsunami survivors described walls of water sweeping away entire villages.
Beyond literal use, it can describe anyone who has endured overwhelming, catastrophic circumstances.
