A preliminary analysis of meteors recorded during the 1999 Leonid meteor storm by three different intensified video cameras is presented. Two of these were located in southern Spain, the third operated from Tenerife. The radiant as derived from a period of 4 hours around the peak period is alpha=153.6+-0.1 and delta=+21.9+-0.1 (at lambda=235.29, eq. J2000.0). The population index decreases from r~3.0 for meteors of magnitude 0 to +2 to r<=2.0 for Leonids of magnitude about +3. We find a turning point in the magnitude distribution, indicating that Leonids fainter than +5 were less abundant. The activity shows fluctuations based on three-minute count intervals with the most prominent peaks at 1h58m and 2h11m UT.
