This is not a rant about the humiliating glitch with the BBC Weather app (I don't use apps in fact).

The 'rant' is about a graphic on BBC News last night suggesting that hurricane Milton was spinning clockwise during its apparoach to the west coast. Whilst it should not have been taken literally some viewers might have been confused. 

Readers of Newsweek will have been even more likely to get confused:

I didn't see the graphic on BBC news, so can't comment on that.  I'm confused about your Newsweek reference though.  I watched the video and read the article.  Am I missing something?

The Newsweek article included the word 'clockwise'.

Oh yes, I see it now.  AccuWeather meteorologist quote.
