Injury writ large after this vox pop escalated (5)
I believe the answer is:
noise
This clue might be a double definition.
'injury' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'writ large after this vox pop escalated' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noise that I've seen before include "interference" , "Sound - gossip" , "explosive report, for example" , "Fuss" , "Clamour" .)
