Servers in California

I started thinking about a 7.0 Earthquake and Servers who serve the Internet going down especially between San Jose and San Francisco where so many are located that actually run the Internet (at least in California) or most western States. And I don't think there has yet been a major quake (7.0 or above since the 1989 Loma Prieto Quake in  northern California. So, the Internet has never had to deal with a big enough quake yet to worry about this sort of thing in California before. I'm right. We have not had a major earthquake since Northridge Quake in 1994 I believe and that was in Southern California. I'm not sure what a 7.0 or above hitting San Francisco to San Jose would do to all that server technology but I know it wouldn't be good. Yahoo was the first search engine I believe on the Internet so this was the beginning in 1995. I remember going through America online then with an old computer for the first time and accessing Yahoo which was quite fine at the time with a telephone connection which was also very slow. But, you had to be fairly techie which I was at the time to do this successfully which I did.
