When we say something happens "catastrophically," it means it happens in a really big, disastrous way. It's like when something goes really, really wrong and causes a lot of damage or harm. Imagine if you were building a tower out of blocks, and then accidentally bumped into it and the whole thing came crashing down - that would be a catastrophic event for your tower.

But "catastrophically" can also mean something goes wrong in a way that is really extreme and unexpected. For example, if there's a big storm and it causes catastrophic damage to houses and trees, it means that the storm was so powerful and destructive that it caused a lot of unexpected and severe damage.
