Tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin anticlockwise apart from a very small percentage. However, tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise. All tornadoes pull air in, regardless of the direction of rotation.

What gets shorter and shorter when you pull?
That is a good question. I've come across many things that pull and get longer, but there are very few things in life that don't get shorter when pulled. As far as I've been aware of myself, a cigarette would get shorter when pulled. If you whistle and blow inwards, you are sucking air. Sucking is a type of pull. You would pull by sucking/blow a cigarette, thus a cigarette would be an item that gets shorter when pulled.
Does a tornado have 120 kmhour counterclock wise winds?
That would be a hurricane, with winds of at least 120 km/h, counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, though they go by different names in the southern hemisphere where they rotate clockwise. A tornado generally has counterclockwise winds in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern in the northern hemisphere and winds can be 120 km/h, but they can range from 105km/h to over 480km/h.
How many tornado names are there?
None. Tornadoes are not given names like hurricanes are. Some tornadoes are referred to by where they hit (e.g. the Tuscaloosa, Alabama tornado, the Oklahoma City tornado) or, on occasion something they did (the Tri-State tornado, the tornado of the elevens) . But such things are not true names, and if they were there would be too many to count.

What is clock wise?
Turning something 'clockwise' would be turning it in the direction the hands on a clock turns. 'Counter-clockwise' would be turning it the opposite direction of a clock. I always remember anti-clockwise from clockwise, by which way a clock turns for clockwise, and the opposite way of a clock turning for anti-clockwise.
