Hurricanes and low pressure systems do spin counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Tornadoes usually do, though not always. The behavior of the intense thundershowers that produce tornadoes ...

Hurricanes spin counterclockwise (like all low pressure centers in the northern hemisphere) because of the Coriolis Effect. Because the equator rotates faster than other areas of the Earth's surface, ...

The National Weather Service officially ranked the tornado Sunday, April 15 as an EF2. It maintained that strength, as it crossed 30 miles into Greensboro and then Rockingham County. While we've ...

Tornadoes do occur in the Southern Hemisphere, albeit at a greatly reduced frequency than in the Northern Hemisphere, primarily because it includes the U.S., which hosts about 75 percent of the ...

Controlling the rotation of this molecule could lead to new technologies for microelectronics, quantum computing and more. You can easily rotate a baseball in your hand by twisting your fingers. But ...
