    Oracle's HQ stands on quaking ground

    One hundred years after a quake rocked San Francisco, everyone wants to know: if another big one hit, who would get crushed?

    Well, the U.S. Geological Society says it's everyone near the coast. According to their map, the red spots below have a "very high" risk of liquifaction. Yellow areas have a "moderate" risk.

    Judging by the Wayfaring map of SF Bay tech companies, Oracle had better watch out. Video site YouTube and photo recognition service Riya might need some earthquake insurance too.

    To magnify the hysteria (Oh no, Google's on artificial landfill!), view more high-risk areas in the USGS's other map, after the jump.
