Theres a lightning storm, but not much thunder, no rain, and pretty windy.. Could a tornado happen? Its also 1 in the morning.. what are the chances??

Yes, tornadoes can occur without rain. What you need for tornado formation is strong instability, wind increases as you go up in the atmosphere and changing in the direction it is blowing from (clockwise), and enough moisture to produce convective clouds. Now, for the more classic tornadoes (not the cold air funnel types), you will need a thunderstorm with or without rain.
A tornado can form at any part of the day or night. So yes it could happen. The question is whether you have the ingredients that can come together for this to happen and whether the atmosphere will support it after it starts to form. Without knowing that, there is no way for me to give you a prediction of what the chances are.
