4km/s - surface waves

Too slow for P or S waves, if you were thinking of instantaneous triggering. This actually is a good speed for a healthy Love or Rayleigh (surface) waves, which carry the biggest stresses anyway. Someone would have to check, however, whether the stresses are large enough to matter. Surface waves at 45 degrees from an M6.6 quake are probably not very powerful.
