red river

The Shreveport Fire Department has rescued a man from the Red River.

As the Red River rises, it's overtopped the parking lot at the Arthur Ray Teague boat launch area.

Heavy rains in and around the Ark-La-Tex have increased the potential for flooding in this already water logged area. On Monday morning, the Caddo Office Of Homeland Security along with other area leaders met with the National Weather Service to discuss the current and upcoming weather conditions.

If you've been anywhere near the Red River lately, you'll notice it's getting pretty high again.

When Spring is in the air in Northwest Louisiana the boats are on the water. The fish are biting and even those who only fish a few times each year, know that now is the time to go!

A car linked to a missing Bossier City man has been found on the bank of the Red River.

The river is at 29.25 feet which is below flood stage of 30ft, but the high water on the Red is still causing problems along the riverfront in Shreveport and Bossier.

If you've driven down Arthur Ray Teague, or over the Jimmie Davis or Shreveport-Barksdale bridges, you might have noticed how high the Red River has been lately.

The City of Shreveport is hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst, as local and state officials monitor the rising Red River.

The National Weather Service is expecting the Red River to rise to slightly above flood stage by this weekend.
