Do tornadoes always spin clockwise?
No. Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. Most southern hemisphere tornadoes spin clockwise. There are also anticyclonic tornadoes, which spin in the opposite direction than is normal for their hemispheres. Only about .1% to 1% of tornadoes are anticyclonic.
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.

What directions do tornadoes normally turn in?
