A man sits on his porch after looking for leaks in a wall of sandbags he built to protect his property from the flooding of the Red River, Thursday, June 11, 2015, in Shreveport, La. Flooding from the swelling river put hundreds of homes and farmland underwater or in danger in rural northwest Louisiana, and state officials said Thursday that they would seek a federal disaster declaration to get help for residents.
