The area has lots of abandoned petrochemical wells, some with explosive gases trapped in them. I hope that Musk has a plan to deal with any that his boring machine comes across.
The Bay Area has earthquakes, but BART has ran there for decades. Trains stop for a bit after a quake, but service resumes.
