One of the best tornadoes in film history was done with a dark nylon stocking waved over a miniature landscape. (It could have been in a Buster Keaton film.) Be imaginative.

I use a separate effects software called Effects Lab. The bad thing it's $150. But for lighting or particle effects I don't think you'll find anything better for the price.

I found a pritty easy way to make a 3d tornado by using the tourus script and duplicating it 10 times :D .Scale each one on top of eachother, bone or group it,and mold a tornado its takes like a minute works pritty well. :P
