Does a tornado rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?

Is a tornado stronger going clockwise or counter-clockwise?
Overall there is no real correlation. Tornadoes generally turn counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern, and in most regions tornadoes fall into the same strength range.
What dirrection does a tornado spin?

Do tornados spin clockwise?
Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counter clockwise while most in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
Which way would a ball travel is it is spun counter clockwise?
If a ball is spun counter clockwise, it would travel in the direction opposite of the spin. So, it would move to the right if you are looking at it from above.
Do tornadoes rotate counter clockwise?
Yes, tornadoes in the Northern Hemisphere typically rotate counterclockwise, while tornadoes in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise. This rotation is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation.
Do tornadoes always spin in the same direction?
No, most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counter clockwise, while most in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise. Additionally about 0.1% of tornadoes spin in the "wrong" direction for their hemisphere.
Does a tornado always go counter clockwise?
Most tornadoes north of the equator go counter clockwise. There are a few that will rotate clockwise. These are referred to as anti-cyclonic. They are still destructive. Two well documented clockwise tornadoes occurred in Grand Island, Nebraska in June of 1980. The famous 'Night of the Twisters' book was based on this event which spawned nine tornadoes, one which moved so slowly through a residential neighborhood that a brisk walk would have outrun it. Four died and 150 blocks were devastated.
