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.
Like water going down plugholes or dust devils, they can spin in either direction at that size. However, the rotation of a tornado is determined by the rotation of the thunderstorm that spawns it and some thunderstorms are certainly big enough to have their rotation determined by Coriolis.
