Which makes me wonder what would happen to a hurricane if it tried to cross the equator.

It's physically impossible. The Coriolis force would tear it apart. That's also the same effect which causes the clockwise spin in the Southern Hemisphere vs the counterclockwise spin in the Northern Hemisphere.
