The fight continues in the Les Maisons subdivision in southeast Shreveport.

Residents are staying up all night watching out for each other and keeping an eye on sandbag walls as the water from the Red River slowly recedes.

These pictures taken by my friend Jasen Bragg tell a heartbreaking story. His dream home in this gorgeous subdivision was going to be in the parade of homes this month, but now all he can see is a parade of sandbags being hauled in on boats.

Jasen has always been an ingenious young man, but this is simply extraordinary how he is battling the high water. He did face a minor breach, but Shreveport Firefighters and neighbors jumped in to shore up the wall and so far it's working. I look forward to the day we can all gather at his beautiful home and toast the true heroes, local residents who put their lives on hold to help a neighbor in need.
