For those discussing tree damage and elevation.

Maybe Sorry Dog could give us an estimate of the height of those electricity poles, although the cables may have been damaged by falling tree branches rather than the landing gears.

Unless the perspective is way out however, they must have been less than 50 feet AGL when those trees were hit and below the tops of the other trees nearby. :-(
