It's like allowing a meteorologist to go on-air and say that hurricanes rotate clockwise and tsunamis are caused by the weather. It's not a political statement...it's just an incorrect statement. "

Note that hurricanes DO rotate clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. That's just a real dumb statement from someone with a doctorate in meteorology, or climatology, or whatever.

She was actually right about that. They aren't (properly) called hurricanes in the Southern Hemisphere. Hurricanes occur exclusively in the North Atlantic and eastern Pacific (north of the equator).

Hurricanes by definition occur only in the northern hemisphere and therefore, they only spin counterclockwise. A cyclone, in contrast, spins clockwise.
