Twenty years later, I learn tsunami translated mean "habor wave." So I'm glad I now know these waves only strike in the habors and not on the normal beaches.

Twenty years later, I learn tsunami translated mean "harbor wave." So I'm glad I now know these waves only strike in the harbors and not on the normal beaches.

Well, then, the people of Superior, WI had better be on the alert!

nevada can be translated in this context as snowy. It has other translations, such as, snow storm, snowfall. You could even go with the Snow Covered Sierras if you were so inclined.
