During Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, parts of New Orleans were submerged underwater, with depths reaching up to 20 feet in some areas. The flooding was primarily caused by levee failures, which allowed water from Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River to inundate the city. Many neighborhoods experienced significant damage, and the overall flooding affected approximately 80% of the city.
