Barry, the second named storm of this year's Atlantic hurricane season, became a tropical depression by Sunday night, when it made landfall shortly before 11 p.m. ET. It made landfall over Mexico's east coast about 15 miles south-southeast of Tampico, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Tropical storms have spun up on both sides of Mexico, with the most serious threat coming from flooding rains along the country’s eastern coastline facing the Bay of Campeche, the US National Hurricane Center said.
