English term or phrase: political storm blew over
Bonjour à tous,

On parle ici de l'histoire des cigares au Nicaragua :

"The roots of the great cigar families remained strong until the political storm blew over and the cigar industry would revive again with the election of Violeta Chamorro in 1990."

J'ai un doute sur le sens de "blew over" ici ?

"Les racines des plus grands producteurs de cigares tinrent bon jusqu'au passage de la tempête politique."

Quel est le sens de "blew over" dans ce contexte ?

Merci de votre réponse

until the political storm blew over
jusqu'à ce que la tempête politique perde son souffle


Explanation:
"The roots [of the great cigar families] remained strong until the political storm blew over ...

les racines ... ont bien tenu le coup, jusqu'à ce que la tempête politique perde son souffle

If a storm is strong enough, it can simply pull trees out ot the ground. Here "the great cigar families" are compared to trees strong enough to resist the [political] storm - untill the storm is the one that quits.
