The large majority of the tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise (cyclonically), but about 1 in 100 tornadoes spin clockwise. Actually, it has little to do with being in the northern hemisphere, as tornadoes do not last long enough for the effects of Coriolis to impact it.
This is how the wind belts usually rotate; counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. This is a resultant of the Coriolis Effect, which, if the earth rotates reversed would change direction. It might result in a reversal of the global wind directions. Regions currently rain shadowed might be flooded and vice versa.
