Contrary to what MANY folks think, if you are talking about water down a drain, no!
"Does water go down the drain counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere?
It all depends upon how the water was introduced and the geometric structure of the drain."

This is supported by many other sites as well. Now, hurricanes -- that is a WHOLE other story!
