The water does not go down the plug hole differently - that is an
urban legend. Any difference in direction in a household sink has more
to do with residual circular motion in the bowl rather than the
coriolis effect.
Also, we call hurricanes cyclones. They rotate clockwise which is
opposite to what North Americans see in their hurricanes. So
technically hurricanes don't rotate the other way here - because we
don't have them.

So, a Hurricane warning is when you warn people that it rotates the
other way around?
