There can be, in a way. Some tornadoes have subvortices within the main circulation. Usually these cannot be see, but in some cases, when there is just the right amount of moisture and not too much dust, these subvortices can appear as separate funnels. A tornado will usually not have more than two or three subvortices at a time, but some have been observed to have as many as eight funnels.

How can a double tornado stay on ground?

A "double tornado" is scientifically known as a multiple vortex or multivortex tornado. In such tornadoes smaller vortices form within the main vortex of the tornado. These subvortices usually do not last long and individually do not impact the overall tornado very much. Rather than indicating a lack of organization in the tornado, a multivortex structure usually indicates a strong tornado.
