You'd have to be a very credible source speaking to people that could recite the specifications of different rigs and calculate with sliderules to sell this without video.
Insofar as the damage to the house was no worse (I can't say based on the dash cam we can tell the extent) I think the power lines took a beating. Can you see if the pole was in the usual upright position prior or is the trailer in the way as it flies up?
The thing that gets me, almost more than the event itself, is the silence with which our observer greeted this. I could hear his radio, so the sound was definitely on - and no, "Jesus Christ! What the fuck?" or something of that sort. A truly phlegmatic passer by. Or perhaps just Canadian.
