Normally? or always? Has it ever happened before?

Similar to that hurricane that hit Brazil -- one of a kind?

I have never in my life seen a system like this. Not in the Eastern Pacific or north of the Equartor.

Down in Brazil they are supposed to spin in that direction, not North of the Equator.
