Question: If their red van was able to record the data at the end of the movie, why was Jo's yellow van not able to do the same thing when it was sucked up into the twister just before they went to visit Meg? It had the same DOT equipment on it, but all it did was fall to the ground after the tornado had passed.

Answer: The sensors didn't fly the first time. They didn't even manage to open the device to let the sensors out. Two times after they got out but didn't fly, they just stayed clumped together, giving no useful data. Later on, they added wings to the sensors, causing them to spread out into the tornado and actually give good data back to the van.
