[0:03] slide out, Louisiana now with Tucker
[0:05] Carlson. Tucker, bring us up to date
[0:08] with the devastation. One state over.
[0:12] >> Thanks, Joe. Every word you just said is
[0:14] true. By the way, we're in Slidel,
[0:16] Louisiana, which tonight feels like the
[0:17] end of the earth. Right across Lake
[0:19] Poncha Train from New Orleans, this city

[1:09] >> And that's where that's why it
[1:10] eliminated across the street. There used
[1:12] to be buildings.

[1:13] >> What was over there?
[1:14] >> There were two houses directly across
