Yep. That would make the first one a foreshock. Wonder if the next one will be a smaller aftershock or an even bigger event?

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

That's all there are (on USGS). They have changed the mag of the quakes numerous times! EMSC is reporting a third (a 4.8) for Papua New Guinea as well.

Amazing magnitude for a foreshock, curious as to why there aren't any 4.5+ aftershocks from the 7.3.
