Mount Moriah is also known as The Temple Mount and it's in Jerusalem. Given the penchant of early USers to use biblical names I suspect that there are Mount Moriahs and Mariahs all over the US landscape, or at least a couple of them. Out here in Idaho we have Mount Borah (I think that's how it's spelled) but it was named for a politician and is known mostly for an earthquake and for being the highest mountain in the state.

We do often call the wind a nuisance. Over in Wyoming, if the wind stops everyone and everything falls over.
