wait outと言い何かがおさまるまでじっと待つことです。while people all around them are leaving they are planning to watch the storm from their vacation home on Hatteras Island. 'it's out 14th year here and I am not ready to go back up to new york and get into my routine so....yeah..' 'so you are waiting it out.'嵐がおさまるまで待つんですね。1:40
wait outは現在の状況が変わるまで待つ、つまり何かが終わるかそれとも始まるかを辛抱強く待つことです。
