There was a robust aftershock sequence, with a M4.5 just 45 seconds after the mainshock. Like any quake in SoCal, there is a 5% chance that it will be followed by something bigger. That means a 95% chance that this is the largest. We have never found any characteristic that makes a quake more likely to be a foreshock.
Worth noting that the California Aqueduct likely experienced strong to very strong ground motion with this event said Dr. Daniel Swain
