"We have been swamped. We're getting a lot of calls of trees down, roof damage, a lot of fence damage," said John Bradford, who was juggling phone messages Monday at Sacramento insurance firm McGee & Thielen. "Adjusters? They're all over town."

With a break in the weather, insurance companies had their claims adjusters fanned out across the region, while office workers fielded hundreds of calls from clients trying to figure out what to do with their crushed cars, toppled trees and downed fences.  

The numbers speak for themselves: State Farm counted some 4,000 weather-related claims statewide as of Monday morning, officials said. USAA tallied more than 1,100 statewide, according to spokesman Roger Wildemuth. Those are all related to the storms that began late Thursday night." (source: sacbee.com)
