How long does a tornado stay in one area?

It depends on the size of the tornado and how fast it's moving. Most tornadoes will only be over a given spot for a few seconds. A large tornado moving at normal speed may be over a spot for a minute or two. However, one tornado was noted to have stayed on the same spot for 90 minutes.

How long can a tornado strike?

Most tornadoes only last a few minutes, but the longest-lived tornadoes may, in rare cases, persist for more than 3 hours. Unless a tornado is unusually slow-moving, though, it will not stay over the same spot for very long. The average tornado moves at about 30 miles per hour. At that speed a mile-wide tornado would only be over a given spot for two minutes. Some tornadoes do move very slowly, and may even stop moving completely. One tornado is reported to have remained over the same spot for 90 minutes.

Can more than one tornado hit one spot?

Yes. After an area has been hit by a tornado the odds of a tornado striking it in the future are the same as they were before. One notable case is the town of Harvest, Alabama. On April 3, 1974 it was struck by an F5 tornado, followed by another F5 less than an hour later. Harvest was then struck by an F4 tornado in 1995, an EF5 tornado in 2011, and an EF3 tornado in 2012. The 2012 tornado destroyed homes being rebuilt following the one in 2011.
