There was just a M7.4 thrust aftershock to the M7.6 left-lateral quake in the Solomon Islands. Might be worth a look to see past history and how likely a larger subduction quake might be.
A Major or Great strike-slip earthquake on the San Andreas (or other) strike-slip fault triggering one of the major active thrusts that uplift the Los Angeles area mountains (the Sierra Madre for example) is a sort of worst case for southern California. I was at some meeting a decade ago where this scenario came up; maybe a SCEC workshop.
