Well, over here they only every say tsunami. Our word for tidalwave is never heard.
Anyway; glad to see Khajiit popping in!

So apparently, “tsunami” translates into English as “harbor wave”. I think I’ll just keep using tidalwave as “tsunami” doesn’t really seem to fit the context it’s most often used.

Hurricane / typhoon is a north / south hemisphere thing. They rotate in opposite directions.
Tidal waves are generated in shallow water and result from gravitational interfaces involving sun/moon/tides. Tsunami's are generated by physical disturbances - usually underwater earthquakes.
Interesting! I thought I remembered something like that for hurricane/typhoon.
Also, I guess tidalwave doesn’t really fit either, lol
