Tornadoes are complex and can have multiple small structures called “sub-vortices” rotating inside the larger parent circulation. Yes, it is possible for a tornado to have more than one spinning part inside it. Think of a big spinning top, which is the main tornado, and inside it, there are smaller spinning tops moving around in circles. These smaller whirlwinds spin very fast and move around the center of the larger tornado.
This happens when the tornado is very strong. The winds inside the tornado can break into smaller swirls while still being part of the big tornado. These smaller swirls can cause more damage than the rest of the tornado because they have very strong winds and can tear apart buildings or lift heavy objects.

You usually can’t see these smaller spins unless there is dust, debris, or rain showing where they are. Sometimes, when people watch tornadoes closely or see videos, they can spot these little spinning parts moving around inside the main tornado.
So, yes, tornadoes can have more than one spinning area inside them, and these smaller spins can make the tornado even more dangerous and unpredictable.
