'Scorpian Tail Hurricane'
Are storms like this alive?
Irish folk law states that one should salute a Sidhe Gaoithe or whirlwind as it hides a fairie passing by.

The right hand/clockwise bias is brought up here in the Wikipedia entry on Dust Devils. Anti-clockwise being thought of as an indication of something bad.
'The Navajo refer to them as chiindii, ghosts or spirits of dead Navajos. If a chindi spins clockwise, it is said to be a good spirit; if it spins counterclockwise, it is said to be a bad spirit.'
The same entry talks of Australian Aboriginal myths that Dust Devils are spirit forms, Islamic traditions see them as Jinn (Djin), the Kikuyu of Kenya call them a woman's devil and some Brazilian traditions see them as containing dancing Saci (a one-legged fairy with holes in his palms that plays tricks but can bestow wishes).

This hay devil was caught on film in Dummer, Hampshire in August 2013.

The 'eye' of a tornado is the center that remains calm while the strong forces circulate around it.
The planet Jupiter features a distinctive red 'eye' which is a permanent storm in its atmosphere. It rotates anti-clockwise. In 2000 a second, smaller 'eye' on Jupiter appeared which was formed when three white storms that had first been observed in 1938, merged.
Jupiter thus achieved stereo vision.
