MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) via SF GateA moderate earthquake rocked Baja California, shutting down factories near the U.S. border and leaving 400,000 people without power into early Saturday, authorities said.
However, no major damage or injuries were reported.
The quake that struck at about 11:12 p.m. Friday had a magnitude of 5.1, according to the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado.

The quake was centered 20 miles southeast of the border city of Mexicali and about 100 miles east of Tijuana.
