Yes. A number of towns, especially in Tornado Alley have been hit by multiple tornadoes. Most notably, the suburb of Moore, Oklahoma was hit by an F5 tornado on May 3, 1999, an F4 on May 8, 2003, an EF4 on May 10, 2010, and an EF5 on May 20, 2013.

On April 3, 1974 the small town of Tanner, Alabama was struck by an F5 tornado and then by an F4 tornado less than an hour later. The town was again hit by an EF5 tornado on April 27, 2011 following almost the same path.

There have been numerous other examples of areas taking two or more direct hits from tornadoes.

In a more unusual case, a building near the town of Elie, Manitoba was struck twice by the same tornado on June 22, 2007.
