"Multiple earthquakes have struck California's Bay Area, just miles from the home of the world's biggest tech companies, including Google, Apple, and Nvidia. The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported that a magnitude 4.0 earthquake struck just 23 miles south of San Jose at 9.16am ET Wednesday morning.
