On the morning of October 12, 2019, a portion of the Hard Rock Hotel building at 1031 Canal Street collapsed during construction.[48] On August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana, passing through New Orleans on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. A citywide power outage and significant damage was reported.[49] The post-Katrina levee system successfully defended the city, but some suburbs without levees or where levees were still under construction flooded.

As much as 80% of the city—parts of which are below sea level and much of which is only a few feet above—was flooded, with water reaching a depth of 25 feet (7.6 m) in some areas.
The specifics of the damages help put everything into perspective visually.

two massive fires burned the great majority of the city's buildings. The Great New Orleans Fire of 1788 destroyed 856 buildings in the city
This makes me believe that nothing can be withheld for a substantial amount of time before it's destroyed.

New Orleans was founded in early 1718 by the French as La Nouvelle-Orléans, under the direction of Louisiana governor Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville.
After being in New Orleans for over a year, this explains the French culture and background throughout the city.
