Second Quake in 3 Days Rocks Baja California

A moderate earthquake struck Baja California Monday morning.

The United States Geologicial Survey has a preliminary 5.1 magnitude for the quake which struck at 10:29 west, northwest of Guadalupe Victoria. That is 21 miles southeast of Mexicali and 101 miles east of Tijuana.

There were no immediate reports of injury or damage.

The temblor came three days after the Mexicali area was rocked by a magnitude 5.4 quake that shut down factories and left 400,000 people without power.
