Can someone please explain the headline to me? Is it wrong or it some kind of grammatical stunt only native speakers know about?

For some reason it auto populates weird with the share. If you click through the whole headline is there: One Florida community built to weather hurricanes endured Ian with barely a scratch

“Weather the storm” means to “endure the storm.” Not so much a pun, as it’s pretty common to say

Thanks, makes sense. Never heard of it since I‘m german that‘s why I was confused. But now I don‘t get the „endure“. Wouldn‘t it be „… built to weather hurricanes endures“ or just „… was built to weather hurricanes“?
