Now they are just making smile up.

Not really.  Derecho has been a weather term for some time.  I just don't think it applies in this case.

Amazing that a pickup truck can hit just one above-ground power pole and knock 4,700 people of the grid:

It cut the truck in half, so this was no flimsy pole.

I'm sure it probably took out phone and cable TV for numerous people as well.

The pole survived, the aerials hung from it apparently were much more vulnerable.
