The linked focal mechanism is more oblique with a thrust/reverse component than the one I saw earlier:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/e...ent-tensor
The dip on the NNE-striking plane is moderate. This is interesting for application to California if it holds up. I have published on California moderately-dipping strike-slip faults.
What is also interesting is that the M7.8 strike more northerly than the faults shown on this map of the Hope fault:

There is now a good summary on the USGS page:
