There's also the problem that all cyclones or depressions in the northern hemisphere turn anti-clockwise, while those in the southern hemisphere turn clockwise, for reasons to do with the rotation of the actual, near-spherical Earth (like bathwater going down the plughole), which doesn't make any sense at all on a flat-earth model.
Plus I'm disappointed that the turtles don't seem to have figured yet.
