What else can I help you with?
Which direction do tornadoes spin in the southern hemisphere?

Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere, at least 99%, rotate counterclockwise.
Do tornadoes only go counter clockwise?
No, most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. Additionally, some tornadoes, called anticyclonic tornadoes, rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Fewer than 1% of tornadoes are anticyclonic.
