cataclysmically
With utter destruction
In a manner suggesting violent upheaval or disaster.
Cataclysms are sudden, devastating events—floods, earthquakes, societal collapses—so cataclysmically describes things going dramatically wrong: The project failed cataclysmically, Stock prices dropped cataclysmically.
The word often carries hyperbolic force, emphasizing spectacular failure or destruction.
