Name That Spin!

What is this in the Caribbean that appears to be spinning counter-clockwise? There's not much convection, but I want to know so I'm asking the experts. ;)

I do, Tom. Isn't this what we've been counting down? Hurricane Season!

And there's a reason....I LIKE RAIN! (audible gasp) I like rain! Loud, thunderous rain and the spectacular sight of a lightening-filled sky! I am fascinated by a tropical storm spinning it's way across open waters.

And of course, although it shouldn't even need to be said, I DO NOT enjoy any death or destruction that may come with any storm.
