Yes. Even fairly weak tornadoes can bring down power lines. These power lines create a risk of electrocution in the tornado's aftermath.

How are tornadoes identified?

There are three ways. Doppler radar can detect the signature of a possible tornado. If the such a signature is detected, or the radar indicates that a tornado may form, storm spotters may be called to the area. These spotters then report features such as wall clouds, funnel clouds, and tornadoes. Tornadoes may also be identified after they move though. Experts analyze wind damage in order to determine if it was caused by a tornado or straight-line winds. One piced of information that may be examined is whether downed trees have fallen in a random distribution (suggesting a tornado) or appear to have fallen in the same direction (suggesting straight line winds).
