Eleven people have died from torrential rain and flooding in southeastern Louisiana, which Gov. John Bel Edwards described as "unprecedented" and "historic", ABC News reported Wednesday.
About 40,000 homes have been affected by the flooding, Edwards said.
More than 20,000 people have been rescued and about 8,000 were in shelters Monday night, according to Edwards.
President Barack Obama declared a federal emergency in the state on Sunday.
