Usually they do in the Southern Hemisphere.
In the northern hemisphere they usually rotate counterclockwise. Some tornadoes, called anticyclonic tornadoes, do rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere, but such storms are very rare.

What way do tornado turn in the southern hemisphere?
Nearly all tornadoes in the southern hemisphere turn clockwise.
Which way do tornadoes turn in the northern hemisphere clockwise or counterclockwise?
Most of them spin counterclockwise
Do tornadoes only go counter clockwise?
No, most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. Additionally, some tornadoes, called anticyclonic tornadoes, rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Fewer than 1% of tornadoes are anticyclonic.
Do tornadoes spin anti-clockwise in the southern hemisphere?
No, normally tornadoes spin clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Do tornadoes spin clockwise in the southern hemisphere?

Do tornadoes go clockwise?
The vast moajirty of tornadoes in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise, but most in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.
Do tornadoes travel counter clockwise?
Something cannot travel counter clockwise. Tornadoes usually travel in a weterly direction. Tornadoes that occur in the northern hemisphere usually spin counterclockwise, while those in the southern hemisphere usually spin clockwise.
Which directions do tornadoes spin?
