This cannot happen because the Coriolis Force becomes negligible near the equator, and the storm would fall apart. Furthermore, the Coriolis Force acts in opposite directions on each side of the equator. Clearly, a hurricane could not be spinning in one direction, then stop spinning as it approaches the equator and start spinning in the other direction as it is on the other side!
