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.

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.
