Is there a better word than 生存 for uses such as "I survived the typhoon"? When I looked up the Chinese word for "survive" so far I only came up with "生存"?

But the glosses into English 生存 cover "live", "exist", "subsist".

This seems to be quite different from the common English meaning og getting through dangerous event unscathed.

Is there a better Chinese word that has that meaning?
I think it's better to say:"幸存"。That means someone go through some bad things such as disaster or serious illness, and still be alive.
