I understand they had an earthquake.....

We _always_ have earthquakes. They are a daily phenomenon. The question is, do they 'count'? We haven't had an interesting one in a while. See

Sure you do.... There is even one that occured last night around the time ofoutage..... But it wasn't in the SJC region exactly.... More like the nevada region.... But, the "Sonet Run" in question crosses about 70% of the united states from SJC to IndyX..... http://cerebus.onecall.net/ohtml/quake.html It may not be pretty, but it links some of the Gov. Seismic centers together. Cheers.... ;)
