The little crack in the foreground, the land *moving* (and falling slightly?) Then the pylon in the distance.
Terrifying.

This is amazing, with the fence slats as a register… amazing

How big was the displacement here?

The video description says up to 20 feet along the 290-mile rupture. Eyeballing it, that doesn't look like 20 feet to me (maybe 6-8 feet?). Given the objects visible, it should be possible for someone with OSINT experience (maybe @catherinedill.bsky.social or @dexeve.bsky.social) to be more precise.
