All I know is that Santa didn't put coal in my stocking this year, so I should be safe.

Good to go for another year, huh?

I've been doing some googling around to find the proximity of Toba to this latest shaker, and it looks like Tobo is almost due east. That's probably not a good thing given the size of Toba. I'm not sure if Toba has any regularly recurring cycles in its history, but the one that occurred roughly 75,000 years ago was probably one of those catastrophic type events, that is, "nuclear winter" type eruptions. More searching...

Prior to the large eruption of Toba 73,000 years ago the previous large eruptions of Toba were 300,000-400,000 years apart, so I'd say there's not much to worry about.

Also, there really doesn't seem to be much of a correlation between large quakes on subduction zones and eruptions in the nearest subduction volcanic arc.
