Incredible Tornado Footage from Cedar Hill/Floyd County in West Texas! April 29, 2009

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

My family settled in this community THIS Cedar Hill in 1898. Most have moved away now. But, I grew up there.I thought this video was amazing.You actually have footage of the old homes of some relatives at about 4 1/2 minutes into the video.We lived 1 mile east of Cedar Hill. I assume you cut off your video close to where my home was because you said there is a "curve up ahead" which was about 1/2 mile from my house.We spent lots of nights in the "cellar" hiding from tornadoes when I was a child
