After looking an many of these damaged
forests, I'd say slightly more trees uprooted, than
broke off. This varies by species. Many white pine broke off and few
uprooted. Many sugar maple and red oak uprooted.
Why? In general the hardwood trees have a stronger stem or trunk and
the weak link became the smaller diameter roots. If the tree had a weak
spot in the stem from disease or poor attached branches, the tree usually
broke at that point. This is a common problem with silver maple. Some of
the broken trees had rot or decay starting in them and broke at that
point.
I'm sure the wind speed, angle, etc. also impacted this.

I was told by someone not on that
street, that the "witches" legs were placed under the home
by the wife of the trailer park owner. Would certainly check
this out before printing as a fact. However, it sure does show
a healthy sense of humor in light of everything that has happened!
