Flash-flooding from the storms hit hardest in Baton Rouge, where one man died after trying to escape his sinking car.
However, another resident in the city avoided a similar fate, when she was saved from her vehicle just seconds before it became completely submerged.
A WBRZ news crew recorded the remarkable rescue. In the incredible news clip, two firefighters can be seen jumping into the raging water in order to pull a female driver to safety after her car became caught in a torrent.

Appearing undeterred by the shoulder-deep water, the two men are seen reaching the black car and attempting to pry open the driver’s door, as the vehicle is quickly swept downstream by a strong current.
Unable to open the door, the firefighters smash the car’s windows in an attempt to get the woman free.
They were able to pull her out alive, before working together to reach dry ground.
The remarkable clip has gone viral on social media, with Twitter users praising the two men as ‘real heroes’ for pulling off the daring rescue.

On Thursday, Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome said some areas of East Baton Rouge Parish received approximately 3.5 inches of rain in less than an hour.
She opened a morning news conference with a moment of silence for the man who died during the flash flooding.
He was later identified as 37-year-old William Jackson, WBRZ reported.
Despite being rescued from his car, which was trapped along a flooded street, he later died in hospital.

ExxonMobil in Baton Rouge reported Thursday afternoon that a possible tornado at its plant in Sorrento, Louisiana, caused five injuries.
The oil company said the five were immediately taken to a hospital. There were no details available on their conditions.
According to the company’s Facebook page, it is currently assessing the Sorrento site for damage following the severe weather.
Several southern and Midwestern states have been struggling with extreme flooding as both the Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers broke their banks.
Officials have said the amount of water being released into the lower Missouri River from upstream dams will remain at a high level for several months because of recent heavy rain and remaining snowpack.
The Army Corps of Engineers said it expects water releases from reservoirs on the Missouri to be above average through the summer and possibly until November.
