Basically, only, much vegetation, land animals and mankind were destroyed. It was a partial destruction of the living things.
Peter says it will be destroyed by fire next time....Nothing will survive this intense fire....
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.....
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and
the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up......
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the
heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Here is the end result of the earth being burnt up....
Rev 20: 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from
whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
The Fire of God will incinerate the old heaven and earth.
