That's beyond disaster level and would be catastrophic destruction of the entire city.

Probably at least 500,000 homes that will be destroyed and then you'll have over a million people homeless. Thousands will be drowned.

No water. No power. No food. No effective law enforcement. No fire protection. No transportation system. You're talking about the end of a major US city for at least 6 months at the quickest.
