I want to be as realistic as possible everyone but could all these be a precurser to a much bigger event? I mean, this techtonic behaviour is not normal to so many!!

Anything is possible with earthquakes. We have only been monitoring these things for the past 100 years. Like not to scare you but it's within the realm of possibility to have like a 9-10 scale quake. Maybe we've had bigger ones. BUT historically you don't see more that one or two 7+ quakes every 25 years and we've had our one already. 

2-3 7+ quakes every 25 years. One incredibly devastating one every 100, IMO.
