Nope. It will be Japan.

They had a 6.8 a couple days ago.

From the USGS Moment Tensor solution:

USGS/WPHASE CENTROID MOMENT TENSOR
11/08/23 17:51: 3.00
Centroid: 37.974 -77.842
Depth 11 No. of sta: 55
Moment Tensor; Scale 10**17 Nm
Mrr= 5.03 Mtt=-0.14
Mpp=-4.89 Mrt= 1.13
Mrp=-0.57 Mtp=-1.32
Principal axes:
T Val= 5.34 Plg=76 Azm= 20
N = -0.09 13 193
P = -5.24 1 284

Best Double Couple:Mo=5.3*10**17

The figure above shows a visual representation of the style of faulting (focal mechanism) derived from the estimated moment tensor. Shaded areas show quadrants of the focal sphere in which the P-wave first-motions are away from the source, and unshaded areas show quadrants in which the P-wave first-motions are toward the source. The dots represent the axis of maximum compressional strain (in black, called the "P-axis") and the axis of maximum extensional strain (in white, called the "T-axis") resulting from the earthquake.[/QUOTE]

Not a problem. Appears to be oblique-reverse slip
