Grizzly Peak, a major road that cuts along the peaks of the Oakland and Berkeley hills, closed for much of the day between the Steam Train and Fish Ranch Road. An early morning accident on slick roads ended up taking out a power pole and downing major transmission lines as crews worked to repair the damage. Grizzly Peak finally reopened to traffic at 5 p.m. CHP also closed down the ramp from Highway 24 at Fish Ranch Road for several hours as mud and debris oozed onto the roadway.
Michael Soller, the California Department of Insurance Deputy Commissioner, says to check with your insurance carrier. He said there are many technicalities. Mudslides caused by fire are covered by homeowners policies. But mudslides caused by rain usually are not. They are sometimes covered by FEMA flood insurance.
