Now, this is a smooth subduction zone. The clean lines and curves means that it pops off every few hundred years. So, it could be a foreshock for an M9. Odds are a hundred to one.
Much better chance than the Japan warning for their M7. That was on a dusty, dirty subduction zone that only pops off every thousand years or so. Just like Cascadia. But, we wait.
This earthquake is in the middle of nowhere, but an M9+ would shoot off a heck of a tsunami.
ps. I know that I wanted to retire from stupidity, but that Japan thing got me going again...
