Yes, the 2005 flooding from Hurricane Katrina was massive. There were houses underwater in areas. The hurricane pushed in water from the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. There were many canals throughout the city, and then the levees failed. There were many breaches in the levee system, and six of them were major. The levee failures increased the flooding by 80%. Entire parishes were under water.
