There isn't anything that "destroyed" New Orleans. It was, however, devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 hurricane, struck New Orleans in August 2005, causing catastrophic flooding due to levee failures. The combination of heavy rainfall and storm surge overwhelmed the city's infrastructure, leading to widespread devastation and loss of life.
