If you siad you lived in Oklahoma...and it was July...we'd be less suspicious.
Nice work though

Re: you wont believe what I caught with my dvx
I can tell you where you went wrong: Footage was not shaky enough; top of funnel was unobscured by any cloud cover; funnel lit up too much by lightning; lightning strike did not persist long enough (fade slowly); car can be seen heading right for it; and finally, there were structures with lights on very near the tornado (power would be out). Those tipped me off...
...but the footage does look pretty convincing, so I looked at some east coast newspaper sites and, while there actually was a tornado watch, there were no reports of any seen. A tornado touchdown on Jan. 14 would certainly have garnered more attention.
All that said, you've got skills!

Hah--I'd be excited too, if I was creating such a cool comp! AE is on my list to learn. Good luck on the tracking. Looking forward to more!

AE is easy man, I started learning it literally yesterday and have gotten the hang of the basic workflow - enough to composite this tornado scene!! you'll do fine

Re: you wont believe what I caught with my dvx
Lightning did not grow.. I just appeared with its full branches.. A real tornado would be hard pressed to be that clean(conical)
Also, a big lightning like that surely would have blown out the highlights the DVX was able to render.
