Why do tropical cyclones spawn tornadoes?
Within a tropical cyclone the winds at lower levels are slower than those at upper levels, especially if the storm is moving onto land. At these lower speeds, the low-level winds blow more toward the center of the cyclone, while upper-level winds move in a more circular fashion. This creates wind shear, which can lead to rotation in some of the storm cells within the cyclone. This rotation can lead to the formation of tornadoes.

In what direction does wind in a hurricane go?
Winds in a hurricane, tropical storm, cyclone, any cyclonic storm in the northern hemisphere blow in a counterclockwise direction around the eye, the center of the storm. South of the equator they blow clockwise, all this due to the Coriolis Effect.To find the eye of an approaching hurricane, when you are experiencing its winds, the eye will be 90 degrees to the right of the prevailing wind.Whatever the case if you are out doors during the passing of a hurricane you will see the cloud bands in the sky as the storm approaches. So whatever way the cloud bands are going that is the way the wind is blowing (in the sky); no matter what hemisphere. With that being said; if the wind increases the storm is coming towards your location. If you ears begin to crackle and pop like your on an airplane that usually means the eye is approaching-passing over your location.Another opinion:Having observed the winds through hurricanes Francis and Jeanne, which hit about 60 miles North of me and Wilma, where the eye passed over my home and tropical storm Fay, I have learned that I can judge the relative position of the storm - at least the direction of it with respect to my location. My observations are that the prevailing winds blow towards the center of the storm. I watch which way the palm fronds are pointed and if the storm is close enough to see on weather radar, the palm fronds are always pointed towards the storm. Note that I said the prevailing winds. Gusts can come from many directions.

If you took a trip near the equator what type of winds would you expect to find?
If you took a trip near the equator, you would expect to find the trade winds. These are steady winds that blow from the east towards the west, between the equator and 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. Trade winds are characterized by their consistency and are commonly experienced in tropical regions.
