Ah, +1 for just removing the highway tag & adding a note on weather damage. There's been similar discussion regarding demolished/collapsed buildings that still show in imagery. I've used was:building=collapsed/demolished IIRC on some of such cases -- after having had the experience of some people adding from imagery once removed buildings.
I'd also add that I think it's a very good idea to make sure that you make sure that _some_ detour is mapped if you completely take out a piece of major road to avoid breaking routing.

If you re-tag it some other way, you should also tag it with a note explaining that it's wiped out by a landslide. If you think of removing the section of that way completely, it might even be worth to instead just remove the highway tag and add that note tag. There are cases where people see the map, think "I thought there was a road?" and then end up re-mapping it using some satellite or aerial imagery where it's (still) visible. Doing the note makes it less likely they do something like that.
