Buuxi weedha soo socota: San Jose waxay u dhowdahay dhowr khaladaad oo firfircoon, oo ay ku jiraan Monte Vista Fault, Hayward Fault Zone, Calaveras Fault, Silver Creek Fault, iyo San Andreas Fault. Dhacdooyin muhiim ah ayaa dhacay 1856, 1858, 1864, 1865, 1868, 1881, 1891, 1897, 1898,
1906, 1957, 1989, iyo 2007. Dhulgariirkii San Francisco ee 1906, oo xaruntiisu ahayd meel ka baxsan xeebta San Francisco meel u dhow Golden Gate Park, ayaa burburiyay dhismayaal badan oo ku yaal San Jose. Magaaladu waxay ahayd mid miyi ah oo dadkeedu aad uga yaraayeen San Francisco. Guryaha iyo meheradaha ganacsigu ma aysan dhismin meel u dhow sida ay ahaayeen Jasiiradda, taasina waxay fursad yar u siisay dabka weyn. Dhismaha Asylum-ka Agnews (oo markii dambe loo bixiyay Isbitaalka Gobolka Agnews) ayaa la burburiyay, iyadoo ay ku dhinteen in ka badan 100 qof markii derbiyada iyo saqafka ay burbureen. Dhismaha saddexda dabaq ee dhagaxa iyo lebenka ah ee Dugsiga Sare ee San Jose oo 8 sano jir ah ayaa sidoo kale burburay, dhismayaal kale oo badan ayaa si xun u burburay. Waxaa jiray dhulgariirro kale oo badan oo dhexdhexaad ah oo laga dareemay San Jose kuwaas oo sababay waxyeelo yar ama aan lahayn. Qasaaraha ka dhasha dhulgariirka inta badan si dhakhso ah ayaa loo dayactiraa, laakiin qaar ka mid ah saameynta ayaa wali la arki karaa iyadoo loo marayo jidadka dhaadheer ee dillaacsan iyo laamiyada kor loo qaaday.
