Ever heard of a "satellite tornado" Strong tornadoes are often flanked by weaker more transient tornadoes that whip around the "parent vortex".

They're the result of exceptional vorticity or spin that gets stretched upwards into the parent mesocyclone the rotating updraft that feeds the storm. Air spiraling"
