Since January, residents along a street in Point Richmond have faced the threat of nearby hillside crashing into their homes, and experts say the threat of mudslides may not go away for months.
RICHMOND – Tuesday brought another day of rain and more concerns over debris flows and mudslides.
Clarke lives directly across from a damaged area of hillside in Point Richmond now covered by huge sheets of plastic held down by strings of sand bags. Clarke and her husband Lance have lived in their home on Seaview Drive since 2008, but were forced to evacuate for 24 days at the beginning of January after massive cracks appeared at the top of the hillside, a possible warning sign of a dangerous slide.
The land owners hired contractors to cover the hillside with tarps and install temporary drainage systems to prevent more water from soaking into the ground, all to reduce the risk of a future slide. "That tells you that there's elevated soil moisture that could lead to an instability," said Jeremy Lancaster, a geologist with the California Department of Conservation.
