WATCH: Videos capture dramatic conditions of flash flooding in New Orleans following heavy rains Wednesday morning.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards on Wednesday declared a state of emergency as residents and tourists fled for cover or higher ground.
"No one should take this storm lightly," he said."As we know all too well in Louisiana, low intensity does not necessarily mean low impact." The National Weather Service said the system was expected to produce 6 to 12 more inches of rain near and inland of the central Gulf Coast through early next week, with rainfall up to a foot and a half in a few areas. It warned that a dangerous storm surge, combined with the tide, would cause usually dry areas near the coast to flood.
