The swirling shape of a hurricane is the result of the fact that it spins as it draws air inward. The spinning is due to the Coriolis effect, a consequence of earth's spin. Air flowing into a storm will be deflected to the right if it is in the northern hemisphere and to the left if it is in the Southern Hemisphere.

How will a hurricane affect people's safety?
Hurricane can affect people's safety as any hurricane can cause damage, small or large, and hence, due to the damage, is unsafe. The motion of hurricane is the major cause of the non-safety of the hurricane. This is because it's swirling motion causes a low pressure in the central core, called the eye of the hurricane. This causes sucking of air from any region of higher pressured air situated below, or beside it. This also pulls up the object that is in the way of the high pressure air, that may be a wooden pole or even a roof of a house. Because of the swirling motion of the hurricane, a centrifugal force acts on the object and if the object is heavy, then it comes to the outer region of the hurricane. If the hurricane is unable to carry the mass of the object, then it falls out with a tangential velocity that was imparted to it by the tornado. This tangential velocity, multiplying to the mass of the object, gives its momentum. This momentum is the reason of the tornado being unsafe. Actually, the tornado alone is not so dangerous (unless the wind velocity is enough to blow away a human), but adding to the objects in the environment, it becomes a terror to the society.
