Magnitude 5.1 Earthquake Hits Baja California

CALEXICO, Calif. (AP) ― A magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck the northern Baja California region of Mexico near the U.S. border Monday morning, just days after the region was hit with a magnitude 5.4 temblor.

The quake was centered about 20 miles southeast of the border town of Mexicali at a depth of 4.3 miles. The U.S. Geological Survey reports the epicenter was 23 miles south-southeast of the U.S. city of Calexico.

The latest temblor comes 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.
