Hurricanes in the northern hemisphere, and typhoons or cyclones in the south. Hurricanes turn counterclockwise( because of the earths rotation) and typhoons, or cyclones turn clockwise.

typhoon - I think this is in the Western Pacific (so hitting Philippines, Japan, etc.)
cyclone - I think this is in the Indian Ocean
