rendezvous 復習

　米ハワイ州で誤った弾丸ミサイルの警報が流れました。

Jocelyn Azbell had just woken up in her Maui hotel Saturday when she was hurried into the hotel's basement to take shelter from an incoming ballistic missile.

"You're thinking, 'Oh my gosh, are we going to die? Is it really a missile (headed) our way, or is it just a test?'" the 24-year-old told CNN. "We really didn't know."
Minutes before, she'd received an ominous alert on her phone.
"BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL."
中略
Hines said she had no idea what her next step should be, so she rendezvoused with her neighbors, who have been in the area longer than she has.

『ジーニアス英和辞典』で調べると「（予定した時・場所で）会う約束、ランデブー《特に秘密なもの》」「会合［待ち合わせ］場所」「（仲間などの）たまり場、酒場」「（所定の時・場所で）会う、待ち合わせる」を意味するフランス語であることがわかりました。今回は最後の動詞の意味で用いられています。
