The crane after the incident
The storm caused extensive damage in the area, uprooting trees and taking overhead power lines down. Thankfully no one was hurt in the crane incident and the tower remained stable. It looks as though the jib was left at its maximum elevation with the crane unable to weather vane. Residents nearby took a video that shows the collapse as it happened See below:
