Yes. Utah usually gets one or two tornadoes per year, but they are usually weak. The worst tornado in Utah's history would probably be the F2 tornado that struck Salt Lake City in on August 11, 1999 It resulted in 1 death (the only tornado death in state history), 80 injuries, and $170 million in property damage.
