Where is Matamoros?
How far south in relation to say Brownsville? And if you would, describe your conditions? HARRIS WHITBECK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Tony. Matamoros is literally right across the border from Brownsville, Texas. This is a border city and it shares that line with the City of Brownsville across the border on the Mexican side. Since yesterday, the authorities, federal (INAUDIBLE) authorities, have been urging people to go into shelters. There are no mandatory evacuation orders in place but about 23,000 people received a strong suggestion that they move from low-lying areas and from several fishing villages on the coast on the Gulf of Mexico to move into shelters. The main concern, here, as it is north of the border is the fact that the storm is moving so slowly and it can bring a lot of rain and flooding to this area. This part of Northern Mexico is normally very, very dry. The land is not prepared to absorb a lot of water. So, the possibility of lots of flooding here is quite real.
