They usually don't exactly skip. There are several factors that may create the appearance of this.

Tornadoes fluctuate in intensity.

Some tornadoes have smaller, more intense vorticies in side the main circulation. These vorticies can produce very narrow swaths of more intense damage.

Some tornadoes have very narrow damage paths.

The quality of a building's construction can affect how much damage it takes.

Do tornadoes really skip around?

Not usually. Some tornadoes have skipping paths, but the touchdowns usually occur along a relatively straight line. Some accounts of tornadoes "skipping" in which a tornado contains multiple vortices inside the main vortex. This can result in a wide swath of moderate damage with smaller areas of severe damage. In other cases, accounts of tornadoes skipping may actually be the result of one thunderstorm spawning several tornadoes.
