Fun fact: No hurricane has ever crossed the equator

Hurricanes do not cross the equator due to the Coriolis effect..
The Coriolis force, which is zero at the equator, becomes stronger at higher latitudes, influencing the direction of cyclonic winds. This force is crucial for creating the spin necessary for storm development. While theoretically possible for a hurricane to cross the equator, it is unlikely due to the weakening effect on the storm's rotation and the prevailing winds steering cyclones away from the equator. The Coriolis force, along with factors like beta drift and prevailing winds, plays a significant role in preventing hurricanes from forming near or crossing the equator.

In my LSU Physics class we had to be tested on Coriolis acceleration. It's somewhat complex, but we had "lab" teachers who were grad students, who held weekly problem solving classes. In the last session before the exam ours asked if we had any problems we wanted him to work. After a moment of silence he said, "I sure wish someone would ask about problem #x on page yyy. We did; he worked it; and it was on the exam. One fourth of the exam was in the bag!

Does this have anything to do with the heat dome which parked over the Gulf South for three months last summer, and made Louisiana and Texas hot as h*ll, or was it just simply AGW?

Fake news, there is no "equator" on this flat earth.

How do they know? have they had someone stationed there since the beginning of time to watch? Or is it just "settled science"?
I'll keep an open mind.

They also spin clockwise below the equator.

Peej could post this and the next gulf hurricane would end up in Argentina

No Hurricane but….I crossed it

That's the coriolis effect in OP. Same with water spiraling down a toilet.

Same with marriages. When they spin into chaos in the Southern Hemisphere, the bitches be spinnin' the other way 'round.

That was a normal summer. It’s always been this hot

Damn, we start calling our border "The Equator" then maybe illegals wont be able to cross it.

I'm not a grammar nazi but fyi, a boarder is someone that stays over night. A border is the line between nations.

They actually don't. It depends on how you orient the earth. People mistakenly put the "northern hemisphere" on top but there really is no top in space. If you look at it upside down it spins regular.

Sure.... and birds are real too.

The Coriolis is ubiquitous on earth. Anything moving on the earth will experience this force orthogonal to that object.
It's the principle behind Coriolis flow meters.
