Incredible Tornado Footage from Cedar Hill in West Texas! bholcomb14 - 1,206 views - 2 months ago
I captured this video near Cedar Hill, TX which is Northeast of Lubbock on the evening of April 29, 2009. I witnessed a total of 5 tornadoes that day, 4 of which are captured in this video, 2 of them simultaneously. The first 2 tornadoes were not fully condensed (At the end of this video) and the third tornado was roping out and I did not capture it on video.

The fourth and fifth tornadoes occurred simultaneously, the fourth tornado starting as a big cone and crossing the road within 200 yards from the back of our van. This is extreme footage, with me taking a chance by passing just in front of a violent cone tornado.

I was with David Drummond of Dryline Media. You can access his site at http://www.daviddrummond.com

Incredible Shelf Cloud in South Haven Michigan coming on shore off Lake Michigan! bholcomb14 - 275 views - 3 weeks ago
A line of storms formed in Wisconsin on the afternoon of June 8, 2009 and raced across Lake Michigan. I was in position in South Haven, MI at the light house to intercept as it came ashore.

As you can see, people were going about their business until the storm was almost on shore. This storm provided beautiful views as it came ashore.

Howdy, Ben,

Thank you so much for accepting the ...

*StormSpinner1* in Texas ... as a friend. Appreciate it. =]

You've some awesome vids - couldn't chase. No car, for one (couldn't you imagine me running from a storm on my cane?), besides, storms find ... me. All's I have to do is step off my front porch.

Admire you guys, though - you're way braver than me! Stay safe on your chases, 'hear?

*SS1* (Again, thanks)
