USGS has upgraded the Baja Quake to 7.2. They are saying a 5% chance of a 7.3+ quake in the next 72hrs. The energy did move north and they do not know what fault it is yet.

Yeah, I watched Lucy Jones talking about the possibility of something larger in the next few days. I hope this was it, and there's nothing bigger to come. I'm betting it will be upgraded again. That quake was felt pretty far away (there was video on the news showing water sloshing around in swimming pools in Arizona). I'm betting it ends up being a 7.5 or something like that. We'll see.

I've been watching the aftershock sequence with great interest. Here are two pics from USGS showing the aftershocks over a period of approximately 22 hours:
