Authorities in Lake Charles, Lousiana, rescued at least 80 people who were trapped by significant flooding on Monday (May 17). A stationary front dumped over a foot of rain across Louisiana, flooding streets and damaging hundreds of homes.
Most of the water rescues involved people who tried to drive through the quickly-rising water. Officials said that nobody was injured due to the flooding.
John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency as some parts of the state remain under a flash flood watch until Thursday.
The storm isn t expected to dissipate until Wednesday evening and could dump more rain than Hurricanes Laura and Delta, which caused widespread damage last summer.
