Here's a cell-photo someone took on site. Anyone know what kind of crane that is that's getting set up?

That looks like a Manitowoc 18000 because of the arched tracks. The curve in the mast is dramatic.

Nope, Brandon nailed it. It's a Kobelco.

I went by Farmersburg last Friday to check things out. It looks like they had a man-basket set up and were working on the top of the mast, probably preparing it for rigging attachment. The Manitowoc 21000 was being assembled.







Here you can see the damage at the base of the mast where it came in contact with the house.
