North of the equator, yes. South of the equator, they spin clockwise. Wind direction is affected by the spin of the Earth.

Can hurricanes and tornadoes both spin around a center of low pressure?
It is not just a manner that they can, but that they always do. Both hurricanes and tornadoes involve wind rotating around and being drawn toward a low pressure center.
Do hurricanes and tornadoes both spin around a center of low air pressure?
Yes.
What does cyclones and tornado have in common?
Both have winds that rotate cyclonically around a low pressure center. Cyclonic rotation is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.
Is a hurricane similar to a tornado?
They have some similarties, but there are also major differences. Both hurricanes and tornadoes are violent storms with winds that rotate around a center of low pressure. Both can be deadly and very destructive. However, they operate on completely different scales. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm. Hurricanes produce substantial flooding through rain and storm surge, while a tornado is entirely a wind phenomenon.
What state do the Carolina hurricanes play in?
They play in Raleigh, North Carolina at the RBC Center.

Do hurricanes and tornadoes both spin around a center of low air pressure?
Yes.
Are tornadoes and hurricanes similar?
In some ways, yes. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are potentially destructive storms with violent winds that revolve around a center of low pressure. They are also quite different. Tornadoes are much smaller and shorter-lived than hurricanes but can produce more severe wind damage. Another key difference is that while a hurricane is its own self-sustaining storm system a tornado is dependent on a parent thunderstorm.
Why do typhoons spin clockwise and hurricanes spin counter-clock wise?
In general, it is Coriolis effect that initiates and maintains the rotation of a tropical cyclone. This phenomenon causes cyclones south of the equator to rotate clockwise, and those north of the equator to rotate anti-clockwise.
When was National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime created?
National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime was created in 1984.
What is the center of a tornado like compared to that of the area around it?
There is evidence that some tornadoes have a calm center similar to the eye of a hurricane. In other cases the winds at the center of a tornado are still violent.
What type of intersection is it where vehicles travel counterclockwise around a raised center island?
A traffic circle, also referred to in some parts of the country as a "rotary" or a "roundabout".
What does cyclones and tornado have in common?
Both have winds that rotate cyclonically around a low pressure center. Cyclonic rotation is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.
Where do the Carolina Hurricanes practice?
For the most part, the Hurricanes practice at PNC Arena. Their alternate location when in Raleigh is Raleigh Center Ice.
In a low pressure system what direction do winds in the northern hemisphere blow?
Winds in a northern hemisphere low pressure system rotate counterclockwise around the low pressure center.
Where can you track hurricanes?
Go on the internet and type in 'National Hurricane Center'
What hockey arena did the Carolina Hurricanes play in?
The Carolina Hurricanes home Is In Raleigh, NC at PNC Arena (formerly RBC Center). It is located off of Edwards Mill Rd.
